About the project
Join our pioneering PHD project and be part of the future of laser technology. Fibre lasers are revolutionizing the field, providing unmatched stability without the need for moving parts or mirrors, making them an ideal solution for next-generation laser systems.
This PhD opportunity is part of the UK’s EPSRC funded Programme Grant, HiPPo project, which aims to revolutionize fibre lasers by integrating artificial intelligence (AI). As a key contributor in this cutting-edge project, you will work alongside leading researchers at the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) and collaborate with global industry leaders, including Trumpf Laser, TWI, and Microsoft.
Key Focus Areas:
The project’s focus is on developing advanced fibre designs and novel devices for programmable spatial and polarization beam shaping, pushing the boundaries of fibre laser performance and versatility.
As a PhD candidate, your contributions will include:
- designing and implementing advanced beam and polarization shaping techniques to optimize fibre laser systems
- conducting experimental and simulation-based evaluations to validate and refine these technologies
- collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to transition your innovations into real-world applications
- exploring AI-driven control mechanisms for dynamic beam shaping and polarization modulation, enabling rapid, precise adjustments.
Research Environment:
You’ll be part of the Pulsed Fibre Laser Group (~10 researchers) and the Hippo project (~25 researchers), both housed within the world-leading ORC. This dynamic and collaborative environment provides access to cutting-edge facilities, mentorship from academic experts, and engagement with industrial partners. You’ll work on ground-breaking research with real-world impacts, particularly in laser material processing.
Join Us:
