Trapping Matter at the Nanometer Scale in Fluids
Description
My lab at the University of Zurich, located in the Dept. of Chemistry and affiliated with the Dept. of Physics, is primarily interested in understanding the properties of soft condensed matter at the nanoscale.
We recently pioneered a new method to trap nanometer scale objects like proteins, semiconductor quantum dots and macromolecules in solution and are looking for bright, highly motivated undergraduate and graduate students with a strong background in physics and/or materials science and a keen interest in experimental work to perform path-breaking measurements in this exciting new area. Our experimental approach mainly involves optical techniques for both spectroscopy and imaging, and advanced nanofabrication. Students interested in statistical physics will also have the opportunity to work on the theory and simulation side of the experiments. Opportunities are available at all levels, starting with Bachelor's thesis projects all the way to postdoctoral positions.
