PhD in Materials Science

This PhD project explores how to combine two transformative technologies – Hollow-Core Fibres (HCFs) and Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) to build a revolutionary new photonics platform. The project will involve both experimental and simulation work, focusing on optical design, device and fiber fabrication, and system performance. Potential applications include long-distance quantum entanglement distribution, scalable quantum computing, visible-light communication, and advanced mid-IR gas sensing.
