You ‘d like to contribute as a PhD Student? Join our Materials Research and Technology department
Through its research into advanced materials and processes, the “Materials Research and Technology” (MRT) department, with its 200 researchers and engineers, contributes to the emergence of enabling technologies that underpin the innovation processes of local and international industry. MRT’s activities hinge on four thematic pillars: nanomaterials and nanotechnology, scientific instrumentation and process technology, structural composites, and functional polymers.
The department also includes four high-tech platforms, focusing on composites, prototyping, characterization and testing. These platforms serve both LIST research staff, and other stakeholders in Luxembourg.
How will you contribute?
The Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) is seeking to recruit a PhD student to work on the development of 1D temperature and density diagnostics of neutral species with single shot coherent Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering. This project is part of an ATTRACT funded project, and builds on the group’s unique, demonstrated expertise in developing such non-linear laser diagnostics.
We are looking for a PhD Student who is expected to strongly contribute to this project through the development of 1D capabilities for single shot coherent Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering and demonstrating its use for the characterization of the boundary layer profile in a laboratory scale wind tunnel. The project involves the development of a novel non-linear optics diagnostic scheme, the development of a novel detection scheme and apparatus, as well as the wind tunnel where the technique will be demonstrated. The PhD student will actively contribute to the design, development, demonstration of the required instrumentation, as well as to the analysis of the scientific results to be obtained. One of the main challenges of the project will be to design the experiments in such way as to become largely accessible to the community and derive the required measurements of interest in an accurate and automated fashion. The PhD student will have to assess the best technological configuration and the related understandings to demonstrate in the end the novel developed technique in a laboratory scale wind tunnel which the PhD student will design and develop.
The candidate will work with highly skilled scientists and engineers in the dynamic environment of the Advanced Instrumentation for Nano-Analytics group within LIST’s Materials Research & Technology Department. The candidate will acquire highly valued skills in the applications of advanced laser diagnostic techniques as well as working with prototype instruments for gas flow research. The PhD student will take a main role in the development of the techniques and instruments mentioned above. The PhD student will coordinate the local research efforts together with input from international project partners. In consultation with the project leader, the PhD student will design and perform relevant experiments, analyse and interpret the results, write scientific articles and disseminate the results in international conferences.
