Theses (Bachelor or Master)
Overview
Students who would like to write their thesis with us are of course very welcome.
There are many smaller and larger projects that can be carried out in our attosecond laboratory in room W2 0-025 with the shortest laser pulses and our own electron microscope. Previous experience is not necessary, but an interest in learning new things and mastering somewhat more complex measurement setups is certainly beneficial. From femtosecond laser systems to vacuum systems, from attosecond pulses in the ultraviolet to time-resolved electron microscopy on nanostructures, a wide variety of techniques can be tried out.
Just get in touch with us. We will be happy to show you around the lab without obligation and talk about current opportunities for theses. If you already have a concrete idea of what you would like to study, we will of course also take your wishes into account. And since the question comes up often: As an independent junior research group, we can supervise Bachelor's, Master's and doctoral theses in the same way as other groups whose leaders already have the title of professor. However, a second examiner with a title can of course be chosen.
Below is a (by no means exhaustive) list of potential topics to give you a better idea of what you can learn with us.
Project 1: Narrowband high harmonics
This project involves generating high harmonics with a spectral width of only 100 meV and applying them to nanoscale systems in our photoemission electron microscope. We have already expanded our laser system for this purpose and now need to commission a new, more compact beamline for high harmonics/attosecond pulses. Sounds complicated? It is. ;) But: We provide very close supervision, the project has been planned in great detail, and we will adjust its scope as progress is made. This thesis project is therefore a great opportunity to learn many new things. A high level of motivation is required. Feel free to contact us for a no-obligation chat!
And what happens next?
Feel free to contact us if there is something for you in the proposed projects. And feel free to contact us if no project appeals to you directly. Sometimes we come up with spontaneous project ideas or a project seems different after we've done a little lab tour.
With us there is
- Intensive supervision, support for the whole group
- the opportunity to try out many new devices and techniques
- first own research results
- an exciting final project
Please contact Jan for more details.
Post-doctoral researchers
There is the possibility of financing a postdoc position in our group. At the same time, an application to third-party funders to finance your own position would be desirable.
If you are interested, please contact us and we can discuss the possibilities. A short email is enough!
