The Challenge
Spectral sensingextends the capabilities of traditional broadband detectors by revealing material-specificsignatures that remain hidden in conventional broadband imaging. Accessingspectral information in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) range is particularlyvaluable for applications such as Earth observation, agrifood monitoring, andwaste-sorting technologies. Conventional optical-filter-basedsolutions, however, tend to be bulky and significantly reduce the availableoptical signal after filtering.
What you will do
In thisproject, you will investigate the integration of solution-processable colloidal quantum-dot (cQD)photodiodes with compressed-sensing-based spectral reconstructionmethods as an alternative to conventional filter-based solutions.
You will get the chanceto
Yourexperimental work will be supported by data analysis and modeling, helping youdraw meaningful conclusions from your results. In addition, you will have theopportunity to work in an international research environment, collaboratingwith experienced researchers and engineers who will support your scientificgrowth.
Student requirement
We are seekingan MSc student passionate about optoelectronic devices and with a basicunderstanding of semiconductor physics. You should be naturally curious andeager to explore new ideas. A background in nanoscience, nanotechnology,engineering, physics, materials science, chemistry, or a related field isimportant. Having a hands-on mindset and some initial programming experience(e.g., in Python or MATLAB) is required. A strong command of English isessential for effective communication.
Type ofwork: Experimentalwork (60%), data analysis/simulation (40%)
Type of internship: Master internship, PhD internship
Duration: 6 to 9 months
Required educational background: Nanoscience & Nanotechnology, Physics, Electrotechnics/Electrical Engineering, Electromechanical engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Chemistry/Chemical Engineering, Other
University promotor: Jan Genoe (KU Leuven)
