The School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering is seeking to hire a talented and experienced Research Fellow (RF). The RF will lead and contribute to the synthesis of novel nanomaterials, conduct comprehensive characterization to understand their properties and, together with collaborators, aid in the implementation of the nanomaterials in strong light-matter coupling photonic structures, aimed at achieving reliable single-photon sources. The RF will work closely with the other members of the team working on this activity, and with our partners and external collaborators in France and in Singapore. The RF will also be involved in the writing of progress reports and publications for this project. The RF will work on a research project on the development of strong light-matter coupling photonic structures.
