This PhD position is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the development of next-generation hydrogen sensors. Our research group has pioneered plasmonic optical H2 sensors, utilizing localized surface plasmon resonance in hydride-forming metal nanoparticles.

We are seeking a highly motivated candidate with a Master's degree in Physics, Applied Physics, Nanoscience, or Materials Science. Strong collaboration and communication skills in English are essential. A background in plasmonics, plasmonic sensing, or micro-/nanofabrication is preferred.

You will investigate so-called high-entropy alloy (HEA) nanoparticles for their hydrogen sorption properties and induced changes in optical properties. You will also develop new nanofabrication methods for HEA nanoparticles on surfaces using our microshutter tool.

The transition to sustainable energy requires new technologies, and hydrogen plays a key role. However, the flammability of H2-air mixtures necessitates high-performance safety sensors, which current technologies fail to deliver.

As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to work at the forefront of nanotechnology and sustainability, contributing to the transition to clean energy. Our research group specializes in nanomaterials science, catalysis, nanoplasmonics, nanofluidics, and sensors, focusing on sustainable energy-related nanomaterials.
