MSc IN EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS

About the research

Dr. Pablo Bianucci has one open position for a student to apply to the Concordia University’s MSc in Physics program. The student will focus his/her research attention on developing and fabricating a packaged optical microresonator, to be used as a platform for further research and proof-of-concept implementation of optical devices.

The research project will be supported by the expertise in place in the research group of Dr. Bianucci, and on-site facilities for fabrication and characterization. The primary objective of the research project is to design and test a platform for exploring different aspects of the optics of optical microresonators, that will also double as robust package for microresonator-based optical devices. The student will become familiar with optical fibers and microfibers, the physics of optical microresonators, manufacturing technologies such as 3D printing, as well as with the basics of optical devices..

The selected candidate will receive a funding package consisting of a Research Assistantship Bursary, Teaching Assistantship, with the possibility of additional university awards. The total financial package will be around $22,000 per year. The financial support can be extended to an additional semester beyond the regular two year duration of the program if necessary.

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 in Concordia's Centre for NanoScience Research.
