New group is being established at University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), Department of Physics that deals with ultrafast spectroscopy of semiconductor nanostructures such as quantum dots (QDs), quantum wires (QWRs) and quantum wells (QWs). Quantum nanostructures are very promising candidates for many applications, such as efficient solar cells, low-threshold lasers and amplifiers, quantum computing and information and many more. The research directions include ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy using amplified femtosecond Ti:sapphire system, optical characterization of single nanostructures by means of microphotoluminescence (uPL) spectroscopy and bio/nanophotonics with colloidal QDs. Currently there are research projects aimed at the development of novel solar cell devices based on colloidal quantum dots and Silicon substrates, studies of ultrafast (femto/picosecond timescales) energy transfer in organic/inorganic composites such as QD/InGaN quantum wells, and studies of multiexciton formation in CdSe nanocrystals on single photon/exciton level.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, highly motivated PhD student to join this newly formed group. Candidate should be of high academic standing with GPA 3.3 and above (based on 4.0 scale), with Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering or related discipline. Hands-on laboratory experience in experimental optics, instrumentation development, optical spectroscopy and/or chemical physics is highly desirable. International candidates should be proficient in English language. Candidates with especially high academic achievements (GPA 3.9 and above) may be considered for UTD president’s fellowship, totaling $25,000/year.
The group has extensive collaborations with leading research groups in quantum nanoscience field. Candidate is expected to visit and conduct joint research with leading experts at Los Alamos National Laboratory/Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (www.quantumdot.lanl.gov).
Interested candidates should send resume by email to: Dr. Anton V. Malko, anton.malko@utdallas.edu. More information about UTD can be found at www.utdallas.edu/physics.
About Dallas area:
Dallas/Fort-Worth area is a vibrant metroplex with a population of about 6 millions. The area is known as a “Silicon Prairie” due to high concentration of hi-tech companies. The area is served by major international airport. Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex offers visitors a variety of attractions and activities; from world-class zoos to museums the DFW area has it all. For nature lovers, warm beaches of the Gulf of Mexico or ski resorts of Rocky Mountains are less than one-day drive away.
