MSc IN EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS

About the research

Dr. Alexandre Champagne is offering one Concordia Merit Scholarship for a student applying for Concordia University’s MSc in Physics program. The student will focus his/her research attention on the area of charge and energy transport in graphene. The research project will be supported by the expertise in place in the research group of Dr. Champagne, and on-site state-of-the-art low-temperature electron transport experimental facilities. The primary objectives of the research project is to explore and understand how energy is carried by charge carriers in monolayer and bilayer graphene, and in quantum Hall edge states. The student will become familiar with advanced nanofabrication methods, low-temperature instrumentation, and both DC and RF low-noise electronics.

The selected candidate will receive a generous funding package consisting of a Research Assistantship Bursary, Teaching Assistantship, as well as a special the special Mesoscopic  Energy Transport in Graphene Fellowship valued at $10,000 in Year I of their program.  The total financial package will exceed $26,000 in Year I and $24,000 in Year II of the program. The financial support can be extended to an additional semester beyond the regular two year duration of the program if necessary.

For information about this opportunity and about the Champagne Research Group, please contact Alexandre Champagne at: a.champagne@concordia.ca

The successful candidate will be integrated into the team of researchers and students and will have various opportunities to present at conferences, write articles and join a thriving network of researchers and students affiliated with Concordia's Centre for NanoScience Research.
