Riccardo Sapienza

Imperial College London is advertising a postdoctoral opening in space-time metamaterials and programmable synthetic motion , linked to the research of Professor Riccardo Sapienza in the Department of Physics. The post is connected to recent work on programmable synthetic motion at a time-varying interface and focuses on optics/photonics, space-time modulation, and metamaterial-based control of light. The research direction includes programmable space-time trajectories, synthetic velocities, pulse-front tilt, reflectivity modulation, and tabletop analogue studies of relativistic phenomena. This is a strong fit for candidates interested in physics , optics , metamaterials , and related photonics research. The announcer is Riccardo Sapienza , Vice-Dean (Research) and Professor of Physics at Imperial College London. The post is framed as a research position rather than a scholarship or studentship. No detailed eligibility criteria, salary, or contract length are included in the provided post text. The Imperial job page notes that applications may close early if there is a high volume of applications, so candidates should apply promptly. Application materials and the full description are available through the linked Imperial College London job advert and the postdoc description link shared in the post.
