Topic : Development of advanced photon detectors

  

 Scope  

                        Photon detectors are one of the most common parts in many scientific devices as there are many analytical methods that rely on light interactions with substance, resulting in the information which are carried by the photons that let investigators understand the nature of materials and many mechanisms that can be detected by appropriate photodetectors. The detectors can come in many forms, depending on the energy range of detection, energy and spatial resolutions, the sensitivity, and the signal to noise ratio requirement. Performance of synchrotron techniques rely immensely on the availability of high-performance photon detectors and the developments of the most advanced photon detectors often succeed under involvements and collaborations with researchers working at synchrotron and high-energy physics facilities.
                        The project is of interest for Ph.D. students who are interested in electronic devices, especially photodetectors. They will work under supervision of experts in microfabrication and beamline scientists who use photon detectors with synchrotron techniques. The candidates should have a background in electronic engineering, microfabrication, or photonics. Candidates who have physics background who are interested in device engineering are also encouraged to apply.
