PhD Novel Terahertz Physics and Technologies at the intersection between Spin Dynamics, Metasurfaces and systems with reduced dimensionality

Loughborough's Emergent Photonics Research Centre invites applications for an innovative PhD project, designed to synergize with our existing research and infrastructural advancements. The research path is an interdisciplinary endeavour at the intersection of terahertz (THz) physics, spin dynamics, and advanced metasurfaces, pushing boundaries of the science and technology in this domain. The goal is to unlock new THz physics and methodologies for photonic computing, telecommunication, spectroscopy and complex science.

Applicants should have, or expect to achieve, at least a 2:1 Honours degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience. We also expect the applicants to have a demonstrable interest in research, innovation, and interdisciplinary research. It is desirable for the successful applicant to demonstrate experience, knowledge, and/or interest of relevance to the project, e.g. terahertz, applied electromagnetism, photonics.

IELTS - 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each individual element (reading, writing, listening and speaking).
TOEFL - iBT - Overall score of 92, with not less than 22 in each test.
