Postdoc: Information processing in mycorrhizal mycelial networks
Mycorrhizal fungi are a class of symbiotic soil microbes that form resource exchange partnerships with >80% of all plant species on Earth. These fungi play an important role in nutrient …
Postdoc: Pattern-driven self-organization of living matter.
Creating tissue-like materials from living or life-like building blocks whose mechanical and chemical interactions can be precisely designed is a highly desirable goal of many fields, with many potential applications …
Postdoc: Nanoscale structure of the electrical double layer near electrode surfaces
One of the largest challenges in achieving the energy transition is the conversion and storage of sustainable energy in energy-rich compounds such as hydrogen, hydrocarbons or alcohols produced from water …
Postdoc: Nanothermometry of plasmonic heat sources resolved in time and space
The Hybrid Nanosystems group at NWO-Institute AMOLF is looking for a 2-year postdoc on cathodoluminescence nanothermometry. Nanothermometry provides us with a new tool to locally measure temperatures in e.g. electronic …
Postdoc: Inverse design of photonic metamaterials through physics-informed deep learning
Photonic metamaterials have fascinating properties for light, with many applications from communication and imaging to photovoltaics and topological physics. They are however notoriously difficult to design, owing to the large …
Postdoc: Stochastic thermodynamics of information processing with light
What is the minimum energy required to switch or erase an optical bit in finite time? And does the energy requirement change if the bit is quantum instead of classical? …
Postdoc: Better together? Stochastic thermodynamics of cooperative optical sensing
Sensing is vital to all information processing systems, ranging from human-made devices to living matter. An important question in this context is whether cooperativity can improve the sensing performance of …
Postdoc: Nanophotonics and quantum physics with electrons and light
Did you know high-energy electrons can serve as efficient sources of optical excitation of matter? Our group has developed cathodoluminescence microscopy, in which we use 1-30 keV electrons in a …
