We will address phenomena, where the quantum natures of both light and ultracold matter play equally important roles. Modern theoretical and experimental studies are just enteri...

PhD Position - Department of Management, Innovation and Entrepreneurship

The following text provides more insights into the topic of the PhD: In biotechnology, the journey from scientific discoveries and technological development to commercial success is fraught with difficulties. At the heart of these difficulties is an inherent tension between academic and commercial demands (West, 2008).   These tensions arise, amongst others, from the differences in time horizon between academic and industry research and the fact that academia encourages knowledge diss...

2 PhD Positions-Experimentally studying the mechanisms of surface flashover

In high voltage technology, vital parts are usually covered with insulating material. However, detrimental breakdown still can occur in the gas region outside the solid insulation. In many cases, a discharge creeps along an insulator surface where it can propagate over longer distances than in the bulk of the gas. The underlying physics is poorly understood, and control and prevention is usually based on empirical design rules or on oversimplified engineering models, or even on trial and error....
