Tasks
Working field: "Quantum Sensing for Brain Scanning (Computational + Experimental)"
Quantum sensors utilize the quantum mechanical properties of a system to detect physical variables such as electric fields, magnetic fields, etc. with unprecedented accuracy. Due to their exceptional sensitivity, spatial resolution, and accuracy, quantum sensors can have far-reaching impact in the fields of biotechnology and neuroscience. Quantum sensors can help obtain high-resolution, non-invasive scans of the living brain in previously inaccessible detail, potentially leading to fundamental breakthroughs in neuroscience and helping develop effective treatments for neurological and psychological diseases. This project aims to help realize this transformative potential of quantum sensing for brain scanning.
This project will focus on developing quantum systems such as nitrogen-vacancy (NV) diamond centers and/or point defects in 2D materials. The project will have both computational and experimental aspects.
Supporting activities under supervision for the following tasks:
- Conduct computational materials design for enhanced quantum sensing (40%)
- Help design, fabricate and optimize quantum sensor devices for improved performance (40%)
- Collaborate with an international, multi-disciplinary team to achieve our research agenda (10%)
- Contribute to high-quality publications and publicly disseminate research results (10%)
