Within the project “Silicon carbide photonic integrated circuit (SiCPIC)”, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and innovation Programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Grant Agreement No.
101227010
, at DTU Electro, the Technical University of Denmark, we are seeking a candidate for a PhD position to research key SiC on insulator (SiCOI) devices, i.e. optical frequency combs(OFCs) and modulators, and their monolithic integration for applications in mid-infrared spectroscopy and dual comb spectroscopy.
The PhD student will participate in an international team in an EU-funded Doctoral Network project called SiCPIC. The project consists of 15 PhD students at 5 universities and one company. The project has partners from five different EU countries. All, 15 PhD projects are within the overall theme of SiCOI devices and integration for applications in classic and quantum optical telecommunication, and optical sensing.
This PhD project will take place at DTU Electro. Apart from the time at DTU there will be secondments of 6 months at Neoplas Control GMBH, Germany and at Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica, Italy. There will also be common meetings with the other 14 PhD students in the doctoral network, including 3 training schools.
As a participant of the project, the PhD student will become part of a team at DTU with expertise in design, fabrication and characterization of wide bandgap semiconductor photonic devices. The activities within the project will benefit from synergies with other projects in the group as well as with other activities at the department. The main supervisor will be Assoc. Professor Haiyan Ou, DTU Electro.
Responsibilities and tasks
Thanks to the unique photonic properties and physical properties of SiC, versatile devices could be achieved on the SiC material platform. For example, SiC possesses both high second-order and third-order nonlinearity, the former enables frequency doubling, electro-optical modulators (switches) and the latter enables optical frequency combs. More importantly, large size SiC wafers enable the integration of different functional components on SiCOI platform, providing novel solutions for compactness and low power consumption, which has never been demonstrated on other material platforms before.
Based on our pioneering work on SiCOI OFCs, this project aims at extending the wavelength range of OFCs from telecommunication to middle infrared by using different mechanisms such as Raman scattering or spontaneous parametric down conversion, as well as reducing the teeth spacing of OFCs from dozens of GHz down to sub-GHz by different schemes such as integrating with modulators. The project will among others consist of the following tasks:

Are you motivated by the potential of proteomics and AI to uncover hidden biology? Do you want to map the dark extracellular matrix proteome and degradome and reveal novel mechanisms of tissue repair? Join a collaborative PhD project at DTU Bioengineering focused on AI-guided degradomics and protease systems biology.
About the position
Extracellular proteases are critical regulators of extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling during wound healing. Yet, many proteolytic processes remain uncharacterized due to the complexity of the ECM and limitations in current detection strategies. Advances in mass spectrometry and machine learning now allow us to unravel this “dark proteome.” This position aims to use state-of-the-art AI-guided proteomics and systems biology approaches to map protease activity in pathological and regenerative wound healing scenarios.
The PhD project is part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action Doctoral Network REMOD-HEALING, which aims to target extracellular matrix remodelling in cutaneous wounds to promote better healing. Using state-of-the-art mass spectrometry and machine learning, this project will unravel proteolytic networks that drive pathological and regenerative wound healing. Under the supervision of Asst. Prof. Konstantinos Kalogeropoulos and Assoc. Prof. Erwin Schoof, the PhD candidate will join the Protease Systems Biology group embedded in the Cell Diversity Lab at DTU Bioengineering — a vibrant, multidisciplinary team working at the interface of proteomics, computational biology, and translational research.
Responsibilities and qualifications

Are you interested in biomaterials science and cell biology?
The TMAT group at DTU Health Tech is offering PhD positions within 3D bioprinting.
Human tissue models based on stem cells provide new means for studying human health and disease in the lab. These systems may ultimately reduce the cost of drug development and accelerate biomedical research.
Multi-material 3D printing has recently emerged as a powerful tool for fabricating tissues at scale. Beyond the lab, bioprinted tissues may also be applied directly in generative medicine and autologous surgical procedures.
Across these applications areas, a central and critical challenge in bioprinting is the design of appropriate biomaterials to serve as synthetic matrices and scaffold for the tissues.
You will be part of a diverse team of engineers, chemists and biologists that collaborate to achieve interdisciplinary goals within this area.
Responsibilities and qualifications
We are looking for a creative and ambitious aspiring researcher with a M.Sc. within chemistry, biochemistry, materials science, biomedical engineering, or similar. Prior experience with mammalian cell/tissue culture will be considerable advantage.
