The Engineered NanoSystems (ENS researcher group ) at Aalto University School of Science is looking for
Doctoral and/or Post-doctoral researchers on compound semiconductor energy converters.
We are looking for new highly motivated colleagues to work on developing electroluminescent and thermophotonic energy converters based on III-V compound semiconductors and thin-film devices. Our work spans the full range of topics from epitaxial growth and material development to device design, characterization and modeling, fully integrating activities joining a team of theoreticians and experimentalists.
About the Engineered NanoSystems (ENS) research group
The work at ENS combines the research of optical thermodynamics with semiconductor energy conversion, forming one of the leading clusters for the research of termophotonics. The group aims to demonstrate and develop optical heat pumps and energy harvesting approaches that are based on electroluminescence and related new device architectures. While presently based at the university and providing a cutting edge clean room environment for academic research, we also have a strong ambition towards enabling broader use of the developed technologies outside the university environment.
Who we are looking for
We are particularly looking for persons with a background, expertise and in
