PhD Scholarships in Photonics at DTU, Denmark

PhD scholarships
Nanophotonics for Terabit Communications (NATEC)

A new research centre focusing on nanophotonics for terabit communications is being established at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). The centre is based on donations from a private foundation, VILLUM KANN RASNMUSSEN FONDEN. The NATEC centre will, in particular, perform research on light-matter interaction in semiconductor quantum dots and photonic crystal structures and explore the use of such nanostructured materials for realizing photonic chips operating in the terabit regime. The centre is a strongly focused effort involving nanofabrication, experimental characterisation based on nanoscopy and ultrafast lasers, fundamental theory including topology optimization, and systems experiments and will provide ample opportunities for cross-fertilization between these areas.

The NATEC Centre is headed by Professor Jesper Mørk (jm@com.dtu.dk)
from Department of Photonics Engineering, DTU, and involves the
collaboration with 4 other institutes at DTU: Department of Micro-
and Nanotechnology, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Center for
Electron Nanoscopy and Danchip.

At the moment we have openings within the following areas of
research:

Growth and characterisation of semiconductor quantum dots and
fabrication of photonic crystal based devices (Kresten Yvind;
ky@com.dtu.dk).

Characterisation of pulse propagation in photonic crystal structures
and ultrafast dynamics in quantum dots (Mike van der Poel;
mvp@com.dtu.dk).

Theory and modelling of light-matter interaction in photonic crystal
structures with quantum dots (Niels Asger Mortensen; nam@mic.dtu.dk).

Topology optimization of nanophotonic structures incorporating
effects of nonlinearities and fabrication uncertainties (Ole Sigmund;
sigmund@mek.dtu.dk).

Experimental and theoretical investigations of terabit systems
emphasizing noise limitations and information capacity (Palle
Jeppesen; pj@com.dtu.dk).

We are looking for candidates with a strong track record and with a
good experimental, theoretical and/or computational background in
photonics, electromagnetics or materials engineering and physics. The
annual salary of PhD students starts at approximately 277,000 DKK
(36,900 EUR) + pension.

For further information please contact Jesper Mørk or the persons
mentioned above, or see the full job announcement at the homepage of
DTU. Please send your application as a single pdf file, including CV,
list of publications, certificates of exams and grades, as well as a
list of references to:

The way to AMINEF in Gedung Balai Pustaka

American Indonesian Exchange Foundation
Balai Pustaka Building, 6th. Floor
Jl. Gunung Sahari Raya No. 4
Jakarta 10720, Indonesia

1. The buses which goes to Senen Bus Station all of them pass through Gedung Balai Pustaka. Especially which route is through Pasar Baru .

2. Bus Transjakarta, from Blok M you have to change the bus 2-3 times.
Way 1 : from Blok M change the bus in Dukuh Atas bus stop to the bus towards Pulogadung, then take a bus in Pramuka bus stop towards Ancol, this bus pass through Gedung Balai Pustaka. The closest bus stop (Budi Utomo) is about 800 meters from Gedung Balai .
Way 2 : From Blok M take the bus in the Harmoni Bus Stop, the bus towards Pulogadung, get down in Senen Bus Stop and walk about 800 meters, or from this bus stop take the bus towards Ancol and get down as mentioned in way 1. About the distance, this two bus stops is about the same. (It is better if you take ojek or bajaj from this bus stop to Gedung Balai Pustaka)

3. If you take taxi with old tariff (TL=Tarif Lama) from blok M with no traffic jam is about Rp. 30.000,00.

4. From Blok M use bus Patas AC 76. Gedung Balai Pustaka is in the right side, after you pass through Depag, and say to conductor "Balai Pustaka"

5. Use a busway from Blok M towards Kota, get down in Sawah Besar bus stop. From here take a Mikrolet M12 towards Senen. After cross road Wahidin and before senen get down and cross the street.
