PhD researcher “track the twin” doctoral network on the use of “low-dose electron microscopy techniques for atomically precise characterisation of single quantum dots”
Offer DescriptionLet’s shape the future – University of AntwerpThe is a dynamic, forward-thinking, European university. We offer an innovative academic education to more than 20000 students, conduct pioneering scientific research and play an important service-providing role in society. We are one of the largest, most international and most innovative employers in the region. With more than 6000 employees from 100 different countries, we are helping to build tomorrow’s world every day. Through top scientific research, we push back boundaries and set a course for the future – a future that you can help to shape.The Electron Microscopy for Materials Science group (EMAT) at the Faculty of Science is looking for a PhD researcher to join the “track the twin” doctoral network on the use of “low-dose electron microscopy techniques for atomically precise characterisation of single quantum dots”, under the supervision of Prof. Sandra Van Aert and Prof. Sara Bals.The Track The Twin Horizon Europe MSCA Doctoral Network: Quantum dots (QDs) exemplify the successful transfer of innovative nanomaterials from a lab-scale invention to a technology that offers better and more power-efficient electronic devices, or makes buildings generate renewable energy. Such implementations, however, keep QDs under permanent loading, such as constant illumination, elevated temperature or exposure to environmental agents. Efforts to make QDs resilient against loading induced ageing and loss of performance are time-consuming and costly.Track The Twin addresses this problem through a research and training program aimed at creating and using QD digital twins (QDDTs). Focused on the case of QDs under illumination, this goal creates an exceptionally rich environment for research training of doctoral candidates (DCs) in nanomaterials. Research topics range from the latest methods of synthesis, structure analysis and time-resolved spectroscopy – from infrared to x-ray – to computational materials science. DCs will join forces to reach the common goal of demonstrating loading-resilient QDs synthesized according to best QD structures as predicted by the QDDTs.To facilitate such a collaborative endeavor, all DCs will be trained to use and co-develop a common data platform and they will be permanently exposed to the diversity of environments needed to implement together a QDDT. Moreover, thanks to the deep collaboration between word-leading academic beneficiaries and start-up companies in nanomaterials and computational chemistry, scientific training is complemented by extensive transferrable skills training.EMAT is one of the leading electron microscopy centers in the world and has a vast expertise in both fundamental and applied electron microscopy. EMAT has several state of the art electron microscopes including three aberration corrected, high end ThermoFisher Scientific-Titan instruments, a dual beam FIB, an environmental SEM.
