Senior researcher

Project
PREP0003740
Overview

The work will involve nanofabrication and characterization of integrated photonic nanostructures and
metasurfaces for experiments and applications in quantum optics and photonics. The research will
include nanofabrication process development in the CNST Nanofab and optical device characterization
in the nanophotonics and quantum emitter photonics laboratories of the PML. This project is
experimental.
