Research opportunities: Optical Computing and Hybrid Intelligence

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 Investigate how optical hardware and digital models can work together to process information. Topics include physical neural networks, optical matrix operations, reservoir computing and optimization with scattering media and nonlinear materials.

Possible contributions

• Model optical information processing and compare simulated behaviour with experimental observations.
• Develop measurement, calibration or analysis tools for programmable optical systems.
• Explore learning and optimization methods suited to hybrid optical and digital 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: Optical Computing and Hybrid Intelligence'.

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.
