PhD – Metasurfaces for Machine Vision and Compact Photonics

University of Southampton

United Kingdom

31 August 2027; no exact cutoff time was verified.

About This Opportunity

University of Southampton offers this PhD project on bilayer metasurfaces for compact imaging and machine vision, with research based in Southampton.

The research develops bilayer metasurface optical elements that address performance trade-offs limiting single-layer metalenses, including field of view, numerical aperture, efficiency and off-axis aberrations. The project combines nanophotonics, electromagnetic design and fabrication to enable compact imaging and machine-vision systems.
