This is a full-time Research Fellow (with PhD degree) position at the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in the Optical Theory Group under the supervision of Asst. Prof. Matthew Foreman.
The RF will conduct research focusing on properties of optical resonances in anisotropic whispering gallery mode resonators.
Key Responsibilities:
- Formulate analytic theory of high-quality surface mode like resonances in anisotropic resonators, with supporting rigorous electromagnetic calculations.
- Investigate key optical properties of high-quality resonances in anisotropic resonators including their dispersion relation, quality factors, mode distributions and coupling requirements.
- Develop approximate expressions for resonant properties thereby providing a practical design tool and simplifying mode identification in experimental spectra.
- Quantify sensitivity of novel surface modes in anisotropic resonators to small environmental perturbations.
- Perform literature reviews and stay up to date on developments in the field.
- Disseminate results through publication in top-tier journals and conference presentations.
- Contribute to research administration and assist in grant writing as required.
- Supervise PhD and undergraduate student projects as required.
Job Requirements:
- PhD Degree in Physics/Mathematics/Engineering/Computer Science or related disciplines.
- Programming Experience: Proficient knowledge of Python.
- Strong experience and knowledge in electromagnetic surface waves and cavity modes
- Excellent experience in optical/electromagnetic modelling/theory and solving Maxwell’s equations in anisotropic systems.
- Knowledge of optical whispering gallery mode resonators is beneficial.
- Good writing and communication skills.
- Able to work well in a team and individually.
- Good research track record. Prior high tier publications is preferred.
- Min. 1-year research experience in related area.
- Proficiency in English
