PhD opportunity at the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy in Berlin for a joint German-French project, FEMTO-switch , funded by DFG and ANR . The project focuses on the ultrafast dynamics of photoswitches , especially how chemical structure controls molecular energies and excited-state dynamics at conical intersections. The advertised work is experimental and centers on time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (TRPES) in the liquid phase using femtosecond UV/VIS...

PhD project: High-Resolution Time-Resolved Microstructural Evolution Under Ion Irradiation using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This doctoral project focuses on using Dynamic TEM (DTEM) to directly observe irreversible microstructural changes in materials during ion irradiation, with near-atomic spatial resolution and timescales from nanoseconds to microseconds. The research aims to uncover how displacement cascades form and evolve, how defects move and interact in real time, and how ir...
