Openings
The Photonics Group welcomes undergraduate students to join us for term research projects. Openings for undergraduate research are always available. Enquiries should be addressed to Dr. Qiying Chen (qchen@physics.mun.ca). All graduate admissions should go through Memorial Graduate School. Please check relevant university and departmental websites for further information.
Current
openings:
Graduate Studies in Photonics
The Photonics Group in the Department of Physics and Physical Oceanography of the Memorial University of Newfoundland has openings for graduate studies to carry out research on photonic materials and devices. The research will use tunable femtosecond lasers, scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM), and fiber-optic systems to study ultrafast photonics, nano-photonics, bio-photonics, and fibre-optics and sensing applications. The self-motivated candidates are expected to have a background in Physics, Engineering, Material Science, or Chemistry. Knowledge on optics is preferred. Applicants with backgrounds other than Physics will be majored in other departments at Memorial University of Newfoundland, in commensurate with their backgrounds. The openings are available immediately. Details on the research group can be found at http://www.physics.mun.ca/~pinglu/Dr.Chen/research group/index.html
Interested students should contact Dr. Qiying Chen (qchen”at”physics.mun.ca) with a CV and statement of research goals.
Graduate
Studies
in
Biophotonics
The Photonics Group in
the Department of Physics and Physical Oceanography of
the Memorial
University of Newfoundland has openings for graduate studies
to carry out research on biophotonics. The research will use
scanning probe microscopes (near-field scanning optical
microscope, confocal optical microscope, and atomic force
microscope), tunable femtosecond lasers, and/or fiber optics
to study novel applications of photonic technologies in
bioscience and medicine. Topics included but not limited to
are bio-optics imaging, bio-sensing, and bioinstrumentation,
The self-motivated candidates are expected to have a
background in biophysics and optics. The openings are
available immediately.
Interested
students should contact Dr. Qiying Chen
(qchen”at”physics.mun.ca) with a CV and statement of research goals.
Graduate Studies in Femtosecond Laser ICPMS
There
is an opportunity for graduate studies on femtosecond laser
ablation ICP-mass spectrometry at Memorial University of
Newfoundland. The research is concerned with understanding
fundamental processes in laser ablation with the goal of
optimizing in situ analyses by ICPMS and extending the
capabilities of the technique.
The project will be
co-supervised by
Dr.
Paul Sylvester,
Professor of Geochemistry in
the
Inco Innovation Centre and
Department
of Earth Sciences
and Dr.
Qiying Chen
Canada
Research Chair
in Photonics in the
Department
of Physics and Physical Oceanography
.
Interested students should contact
Dr. Paul Sylvester
(pauls@esd.mun.ca) and Dr.
Qiying Chen (qchen@physics.mun.ca)
with a CV and statement of their research goals.
