PhD in Physics

This PhD project focuses on developing silicon photonic sensors that can detect early biomarkers of sepsis in children - quickly, accurately, and at the point of care. Help revolutionise paediatric healthcare by developing cutting-edge silicon photonic sensors for early sepsis detection. Collaborate with leading engineers and clinicians, gain hands-on experience in photonic chip design and clinical validation, and contribute to life-saving diagnostics. Ideal for curious minds in physics or electronic engineering eager to make real-world impact. Access to one of Europe’s top academic cleanrooms and photonics labs, hands-on experience in photonic design, fabrication, and characterisation, training in biomedical sensing and interdisciplinary collaboration, a chance to contribute to a technology with direct clinical impact.
