Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) are used more and more used to overcome data bottlenecks, offering massive improvements in energy efficiency and bandwidth and opening up new applications. They are critical to the scaling of modern data centers, telecommunications networks, and advanced sensing applications in healthcare, mobility, and agrifood. This PhD position is focusing on the foundation of the PIC: the epitaxial growth of the functional materials. These can be engineered to e.g. emit or amplify light, transport light on the chip of efficiently modulate the phase of the light. The proj
The subject environmental impact analysis encompasses theoretical, methodological, and applied research for environmental assessment of projects, plans, and programs. Its core focus is on developing and critically examining how environmental aspects are integrated into planning and decision-making processes to promote sustainable development, with attention to both content and practical application. The subject also includes analysis of how knowledge, methods, and tools are used at various stages of the process, and how these contribute to and influence decision-making, implementation, and fol
How can we control light in space, time, and frequency to make photonic systems faster, more compact, and more versatile? In this PhD project, you will develop frequency-gradient metasurfaces for ultrafast beam steering, temporal focusing, and self-torque, combining design, nanofabrication, and femtosecond experiments. Job Description Current photonic components can shape light with remarkable spatial precision, but controlling its spatial, spectral, and temporal structure simultaneously remains far more difficult. This limits how fast, compact, and versatile optical systems can become. In thi
What new physics emerges when a THz interface changes on the timescale of the wave itself? In this PhD project, you will develop dynamically modulated THz interfaces and explore frequency conversion, beam steering, and nonreciprocal propagation through electromagnetic design, device development, and THz experiments. Job Description The sub-THz regime is emerging as an important platform for future wireless communication, radar, and sensing, but controlling these waves dynamically remains a major challenge. Current interfaces can shape a THz wave in space, or tune their response in time, but do
Fungi are increasingly causing health issues globally. Such infections are not only increasing in humans and animals, but also in crops and as contamination of food products with mycotoxins.
Do you want to get cutting-edge experience in research management and multimaterial additive manufacturing, contribute to the successful implementation of a large European research and innovation initiative involving leading universities, research institutes, industrial companies, and researchers across Europe?
How can coastal vegetation help protect our coastlines from waves and flooding? Understanding how waves interact with vegetation is key to exploring its potential for coastal protection and climate adaptation. Are you interested in combining fluid mechanics, mathematical analysis and numerical modelling to help answer this question.
Following a grant of the Research Fund of the University of Leuven, an interdisciplinary research project “A New Model for the Edition of Ancient Philosophical Fragments” was launched in October 2025. In its present phase, the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Philosophy seek to hire a doctoral student who will prepare a PhD dissertation in (Ancient) History.
Deploy detailed models of coupled ocean / sea ice processes, probe their turbulent interactions, compare with observations, and design parameterizations for global climate models.
We are seeking an enthusiastic and self-motivated postdoctoral researcher to investigate soil microbiome assembly and its implications for the use of soil inoculants. The overall project aims to apply theoretical concepts from ecology and evolutionary biology to design effective strategies for engineering soil microbiomes.
