Research

Projects, and open positions for students.

Mockup / placeholder. This section is a first-pass scaffold — the projects and positions below are sample entries to show the layout and will be replaced.

Research in the group spans structured light and the orbital angular momentum of light, nonlinear light–matter interaction in complex media, and luminescent nanomaterials for sensing — together with the instrumentation that makes those experiments possible.

Projects

Shaping non-cylindrical optical vortices

structured light

nonlinear optics

Design and characterization of structured light beams carrying tailored orbital angular momentum, including vortices with arbitrary, non-cylindrical geometries.

Luminescent nanothermometry with rare-earth nanoparticles

rare-earth photonics

instrumentation

Rare-earth-doped nanomaterials as remote optical thermometers, and the measurement methods and instrumentation that make them quantitative.

Open positions

Undergraduate research (IC): measuring the orbital angular momentum of light

Build an optical setup to generate and characterize vortex beams, and quantify their OAM content. Level: undergraduate (IC). Prerequisites: basic optics and Python. Status: open.

MSc: low-noise photodetection for optical measurements

Design and characterize transimpedance-amplifier photodetection with an eye on noise, bandwidth and sensitivity, applied to a real optical experiment. Level: MSc. Status: open.
