About the position

PhotonicsAI Lab at the Center for Optics and Photonics, Institute of Physics, Yerevan State University welcomes applications from people interested in this research direction. We are open to applicants at any stage of their studies or research career, including those proposing a related research idea.

Project scope and responsibilities are matched to the applicant's preparation, interests and available supervision. Experience in every topic listed below is not required.

Research focus Study how to shape and control light through phase, amplitude and polarization. Topics include spatial light modulation, liquid-crystal photoalignment, geometric-phase optics, vector beams and reconfigurable optical elements.

Possible contributions

  • Model structured optical fields and compare predictions with experimental measurements.
  • Develop or characterize light-shaping components and photoaligned structures.
  • Create calibration, polarization-analysis or beam-measurement tools for optical experiments.

How to apply Email photonicsai@ysu.am with a brief statement of your research interests, your CV or a short account of your background, and your expected availability. Links to previous work, code or publications are welcome when relevant. Use the subject 'Research application: Broadband Wavefront Control and Structured Light'.

Practical arrangements Applications are welcome on a rolling basis and considered individually. The closing date shown is this portal listing's expiry date; enquiries remain welcome afterward. Project availability, supervision, duration, working arrangements and any funding or appointment terms are discussed separately for a suitable project.
