7 string-theory positions at AMOLF

Internship: Self-organized criticality of light

phase transition? The theory of self-organized criticality (SOC), one of the most spectacular ideas of the past 40 years of physics, emerged in response to these important questions. SOC is a mechanism by

Two PhD positions: Fano4nano – Fano resonance enhanced scatterometry for wafer metrology

are the best read out schemes for metrology ? Your focus is on developing mechanistic understanding, using modal analysis and developing perturbation theory for metrology which can aid global optimization

PhD-student: Physical learning machines

The Learning Machines group is a new group at AMOLF, led by Dr. Menachem Stern. It focuses on the development of fundamental understanding and theories regarding learning, from a physical perspective, under real

Phd – student: Nonlinear metaphotonics for UV semiconductor metrology

for metrology? You will perform electromagnetic design and theory hand in hand with experiments on nonlinear optical metasurfaces that you fabricate in the AMOLF cleanroom, and of which you probe third harmonic

Two PHD positions: Metasurfaces for energy-efficient wave-based computing

and noise in optical resonators.  We are fascinated by emergent phenomena and novel functionalities of optical systems. Most of our group members enjoy both experiment and theory. All projects in

Postdoc: Inverse design of photonic metamaterials through physics-informed deep learning

to undertake this pilot project. The project lies at the interface of electromagnetic modelling and theory and deep learning methods. You will develop methods and test them towards the inverse design of state
