Job Opportunity
School of Science
Full Time - Fixed Term
We are seeking a highly skilled Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join our team at the Emergent Photonics Centre in the Department of Physics at Loughborough University. The successful candidate will be part of a larger group of researchers based in Physics, Chemistry, and Computer Science who are active in the fields of Photonics.
Research Project
The position is part of the EPSRC Quantum Technologies fellowship project "AI-powered micro-comb lasers: a new approach to transfer portable atomic clock accuracy in integrated photonics". The project focuses on developing a new class of AI-powered ultrafast lasers capable of "learning" how to optimise their emission in real-time and in real-life experimental conditions.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and implement experimental setups to implement different machine-learning control approaches to stabilise ultrafast lasers at high optical powers, including mode-locked fibre lasers and micro-combs.
- Combine standard stabilisation techniques with state-of-the-art machine learning approaches, such as reinforcement learning, physics-informed neural networks, and neuromorphic photonic low-latency predictors.
- Operate ultrafast lasers and optical frequency combs, design optical benches, and acquire data using fast electronics and analyse it.
Requirements
- PhD in a field related to nonlinear photonics, ultrafast photonics, or nonlinear wave propagation.
- Background in ultrafast characterisation and machine-learning applications in photonics, with a good publication record.
- Previous experience with photonic bench implementations, basic knowledge of ultrafast laser operation, and international involvement.
Working Environment
The successful applicant will be based in the Department of Physics and in the Emergent Photonics Research Centre at Loughborough University. They will work with Dr Juan Sebastian Totero Gongora, in direct collaboration with researchers involved in several ERC, EPSRC, and Leverhulme Trust research projects in nonlinear photonics, metrology, and integrated photonics.
Loughborough University
Loughborough University is committed to promoting diversity of experience, thought, and perspective and committed to comprehensive EDI strategies covering several aspects of being part of the university, including staff recruitment. We welcome applications from under-represented groups and requests to fit a specific need in any phase of the selection.
