PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Nanoscience in Luxembourg

This PhD project addresses a core challenge in semiconductor metrology: recovering nanoscale physical information from limited, noisy, and low-resolution images. The work focuses on developing a physics-informed machine learning approach that combines physical simulation of the measurement process with inverse reconstruction methods, aiming to infer hidden properties of modern chip structures efficiently and reliably. The project is situated at ARCNL, an institute dedicated to fundamental resear...

The University of Cambridge is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for a new project at the interface of synthetic cell engineering, nanotechnology and materials . The research aims to construct Assembler Synthetic Cells: microrobots that synthesise materials from the ground up while imitating biological cells’ ability to organise matter hierarchically across multiple length scales. The project will explore organisation from molecules to microstructure and macrostructure, combining synthetic ce...
