Position Available: Research Fellow (Engineering/Physics)

The laboratory of Yijie Shen at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences is seeking to hire a research fellow with a solid theoretical background in optical angular momentum, particularly in vortex light fields, who has also conducted relevant research in this area. The research fellow will focus on two main aspects: 1) theoretical research on optical transverse angular momentum, and 2) the generation, measurement, and application of light fields carrying angular momentum or certain polarization states in long pulses.

Optical transverse angular momentum represents a cutting-edge topic in the field of optics. In the past three years, it has garnered significant attention and extensive research within the scientific community, with related work frequently published in top-tier journals. However, the theoretical understanding of optical transverse angular momentum is still in its infancy. The current theoretical frameworks remain unclear and lack solid foundations, with considerable discrepancies in its definition and calculation. Therefore, advancing its theoretical research is crucial, and this is expected to become a prominent research direction in optics in the coming years.

Additionally, experimental work on vortex light fields can also be pursued. While the generation and study of light beams carrying longitudinal angular momentum are already well-established, research on the generation and measurement techniques for light pulses carrying both longitudinal and transverse angular momentum is still in the early stages. Moreover, exploring potential applications of these light fields remains an open frontier. Theoretical studies involving optical vortices in pulses and ultrafast optics require further development to establish a comprehensive research framework.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct theoretical research on optical transverse orbital angular momentum, focusing on its definition and calculation
• Develop methods for numerical simulation for optical longitudinal and transverse angular momentum or generating and measuring light fields carrying longitudinal and transverse angular momentum. Investigate the practical applications of these light fields, such as using them as detection signals in various scenarios (e.g., interactions with different material interfaces)
• Work on the generation and measurement of long pulses with modified power spectrum and explore their applications in the field of communications
• Publish high-quality research papers to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field

Job Requirements:

• PhD degree in Engineering, Physics or related areas, with focus on optical angular momentum, optical vortex
• Experience in theoretical research for vortex beams, vector vortex beams and longitudinal/ transverse orbital angular momentum
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English is essential to conduct research
• Knowledge in classical electromagnetic theory/ quantum dynamics/ optics
• Background in one or more of the following topics: optical angular momentum, ultrafast optics, optical vortex
• Proficiency in scientific computation in C/C++ and MATLAB

The Asian School of the Environment (ASE) at Nanyang Technological University is an interdisciplinary School that aims to be a world leader in environmental research focusing on environmental challenges in Asia. ASE integrates earth and environmental life science, ecology, engineering and technology, human ecology, humanities, and the social sciences to address key issues of the environment and sustainability.

The research laboratory on Resilient and Inclusive cities at ASE addresses important challenges related to rapid urbanization and climate change in Asia-Pacific. It focuses on understanding and modelling the benefits of nature-based solutions – e.g. urban parks or peri-urban forests, road trees, green roofs – in the region to inform policy and practice and create more resilient and inclusive cities. The program builds upon an interdisciplinary approach, combining geospatial modeling of urban environments and empirical studies of urban practice.

The laboratory is currently looking for a Research Associate to lead research on scenario exploration and modelling of nature-based solutions for Southeast Asian rapidly growing cities.

The project will be conducted in at least one case study in Indonesia and may involve extending current research to other geographies.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist with the projects by applying and refining a scenario generation framework for co-designing nature-positive urban futures, and estimating the benefits of nature-based solutions for a subset of nature-positive urban scenarios
• Contribute to ongoing projects investigating the quantity and quality of green spaces in Southeast Asian rapidly growing cities

Job Requirements:

• Master degree in Environmental Sciences, Landscape & urban planning or equivalent field
