About the project

We are searching for a creative, skilled and ambitious candidate for our activities on the optics of disordered resonant metasurfaces with applications in production of clean energy.

The aim of the candidate is to design and characterize disordered optical metasurfaces. Main focus will be theoretical and experimental understanding of the complex optics of plasmonic disordered metasurfaces as well as optical characterization using advanced spectroscopic modules. We will investigate the potential of these structures in photocatalysis pushing towards green energy sources.

The research will be performed at the Department of Electronic Systems, NTNU in close collaboration with scientific partners in Switzerland. The applicant will be encouraged to spend short exchange visits with the scientific partners.
