Missions

A Research Fellow position is available for the theoretical study of exciton-polaritons in microcavities, waveguides, and other patterned photonic structures. The hired Fellow will work as part of the “PolArt” project team, which is an international collaboration between experimental, theoretical, and industrial partners based in Poland, Italy, France, and Singapore. The overall of the project is to use exciton-polaritons to construct neural networks for processing of biological samples.

Activités

The hired Fellow will work in Singapore on the theoretical design and modelling of photonic nanostructures for exciton-polariton neural networks. The models will need to account for the full three-dimensional structure of photonic structures, the dissipation of exciton-polaritons, the effects of disorder, nonlinearity, and possible saturation effects. The hired Fellow should collaborate with experimental groups both in providing them with designs for samples to grow and modelling of experimental results. The hired Fellow will also be responsible for researching of the scientific literature, the writing up and dissemination of results, presenting at international conferences and schools, and contributing to project report writing.

Compétences

Theoretical methods of modelling nonlinear exciton-polaritons in three-dimensional patterned microcavities such as nonlinear finite-difference time-domain simulation. Experience in the design of patterned microcavities, backed with theoretical modelling, for the realization of nonlinear effects and devices is strongly desirable.
Expected results: Designs of exciton-polariton neural network elements suitable for the processing of optical signals, including designs in planar and waveguiding microcavities. It is also expected that these results would lead to high-impact publications and advancement of the career of the hired Fellow.

Contexte de travail

The PolArt project is funded by the European Commission via the Pathfinder project PolArt. The Majulab is an international joint French-Singaporean research unit of the CNRS, NUS, NTU, UCA, and SU. The present project is hosted at NTU.
