Overview You will pursue a PhD project at ETH Zurich focusing on developing integrated mid-infrared photonic devices for advanced sensing and spectroscopy. You will design, model, and fabricate photonic devices and perform optical and MIR measurements to evaluate performance. You’ll work at the interface of photonics, nonlinear optics, and MIR spectroscopy within an international, interdisciplinary environment. This role offers hands-on fabrication in cleanrooms, data-driven analysis, and opportunities to contribute to publications and conferences. Join a mission-driven lab advancing environmental, biomedical, and industrial sensing with MIR technologies.
