Physics PhD projects on FindaPhD.com

We offer projects over a broad spectrum of subject areas. Projects are available as part of Centres for Doctoral Training as well as on an individual basis.
Our research explores fundamental light-matter interactions across the length scales of biological self-assembly processes: from individual molecules, via nanoscopic structures to cells and cell-assemblies. We investigate and engineer bio-inspired (nano)materials and technologies with advanced photonic characteristics, such as nonlinear, topological, and quantum properties and lasing. Our focus lies on understanding how emergent properties, like chirality, topology, or lasing, are transferred across different self-assembly levels. We develop new light-based analytical equipment that can reveal the energy states, ultrafast charge-transfer dynamics, and geometrical configuration of bio/nano building blocks. Our mission is to deliver impactful research and foster strategic industrial collaborations to advance cutting-edge bio-photonic technologies.
