In case of general interest in a project in the area of Modelling and Simulation, please contact Dr. Jasmin Smajic.

In case you have your own idea, please do not hesitate to contact any member of our scientific staff.

Note: Both the report and the presentation must be done in English.

ETH Zurich uses SiROP to publish and search scientific projects. For more information visit external pagesirop.org.

Characterization of Graphene-Based Image Sensors for Retinal Implants

Your task will be to develop a measurement setup for image sensor characterization. Show details 

Design and Optimization of Novel Graphene Photodetectors

In the first part of the thesis you will read up on the current graphene photodetector (PD) theory. Based on the gained knowledge new PD designs will be developed and optimized to enhance the device efficiency. With the help of numeric simulations the proposed design can then be analyzed and the performance of the new design will be compared to prior results. If time allows the simulation results will be compared with real world fabricated devices. Lastly, the work will be concluded in a report where all the important results are documented. Show details 

Near-Zero-Index (NZI) Photonics

You will use numerical simulations to investigate light-matter interactions in near-zero-index materials and propose novel photonic devices based on these materials. Show details 

Internship: Software Development - Lab Automation

Polariton Technologies is a start-up coming out of ETH Zurich developing cutting-edge devices for optical communications. We are about to launch our first product based on a novel electro-optic modulator. We enable customers to send data with unprecedented speed and quality. The modulators are used in research and industry. Join Polariton and become part of our team producing the next generations of our products. Show details 

Design of an Energy-Efficient Readout Circuit of 2D Material-based Photodetectors for Retinal Implants

During this project you will simulate and design your own PCB for the read-out of a highly sensitive photodetector array. Show details 

Photodetection at Low Optical Powers

Your task will be to theoretically and/or experimentally develop graphene photodetectors for the visible spectrum at low optical powers. Show details 

Jitter Measurement of Single-Photon Detectors

Your goal is to build a setup in our laboratory which we can use to measure the timing accuracy of our SNSPDs. 20% Theory, 40% Measurement, 40% Programming. Show details
