PhD Scholarship in Integrated Photonics for Telecommunication, Biosensing and Precision Measurements

Integrated photonic circuits are transitioning from speculative research to a mature industrially scalable platform, transforming our daily lives by providing a solution to the ever-increasing demand for internet traffic and replace bulky and energy inefficient components in applications such as biosensing, communication and precision measurements. The Integrated Photonics and Applications Centre (InPAC) at RMIT University aims to create the next generation of integrated photonic circuits with unprecedented efficiency and innovative monitoring and control techniques. This scholarship offers several PhD projects in the area of biosensing, communication and precision measurements. Successful candidates will work with centre members from diverse research backgrounds in the disciplines of engineering, physics, chemistry and biology and have the opportunity to participate in strong international collaborations to the US and Europe. During the PhD project, candidates will have access to world class facilities, including the InPAC Photonic Systems Lab, the world-leading Micro Nano Research Facility (MNRF) and the Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication.
