Offer Description
This PhD position is computational in scope and aims at exploring wave propagation in different media. In combination with a mathematical understanding, numerical simulations as a rigorous tool have become crucial for obtaining intuition, guidance and design of state-of-the art experiments. The media we consider include tailored or designed media or interfaces that aim at engineering specific beam profiles in a given plane, information retrieval from scattered or random media and possibly coupling to matter. In collaboration with local experiments, you will develop numerical techniques and through that advance the general understanding and identification of the underlying principles and mechanisms.
Requirements
Specific Requirements
- An MSc degree in physics, engineering or mathematics, ideally with connection to optics.
