Offer Description We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network TRILOGY, an international training programme in ultrafast science, attosecond physics, and photonics.
TRILOGY trains 14 doctoral candidates across leading European universities, research institutes, and industrial partners. The programme provides an interdisciplinary research environment combining advanced experimental research, theoretical collaboration, international secondments, and structured training in transferable skills.
The candidate will be enrolled in a recognized PhD programme and supervised by internationally leading researchers.
The TRILOGY network focuses on ultrafast chirality and attosecond electron dynamics, aiming to develop new methods for probing and controlling chiral light–matter interactions with applications in photonics, biosensing, and materials science.
Project title: Design and Micromachining of Microfluidic Devices for Chiral Sensing Applications (WP3)
DC10 aims to develop next-generation lab-on-a-chip platforms for chiral sensing by integrating photonic waveguides and microfluidic devices fabricated through advanced femtosecond laser micromachining techniques. The project combines microfabrication, nanophotonics, and fluidics to create compact devices capable of generating and exploiting synthetic chiral light for highly sensitive molecular detection. The research will contribute to the development of innovative photonic technologies with applications i
