Description

ABOUT US

The UCL Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering wishes to appoint a high-calibre Research Fellow to work on an EPSRC funded project (PLANET) aiming to develop novel photonics based high resolution, widely tuneable THz spectroscopy instrumentation.
The work will involve understanding of the underpinning physics of THz signal generation to address the bandwidth and power limitations of such systems. The project will also focus on utilising the advances made in photonic and electronic integrated solutions to develop the next generation small foot-print air pollution sensors that can offer accuracy, robustness, and scalability.
