Research Fellow in Smart Fibre Optic High-Power Photonics (HiPPo): Development of the Digital Fibre Laser

About HiPPo

Standard multi-kW fibre lasers are now routinely used in the most advanced production lines for cutting, welding, 3D printing, and marking of a myriad of materials from glass to steel. The ability to precisely control the properties of the laser beam and focus it on the workpiece makes high-power fibre lasers (HPFLs) indispensable to modern manufacturing. As we enter the Digital Manufacturing/Industry 4.0 era however, new challenges and opportunities for HPFLs are emerging.

The primary objective of the HiPPo project (Smart Fibre Optic High-Power Photonics, www.hippo-laser.co.uk) is to move beyond the “fixed” fibre lasers that are currently used in manufacturing, and towards “smart” fibre lasers that are automatically reconfigured and optimised in real-time depending on the application. This ambitious objective requires research breakthroughs across the spectrum of fibre laser development, from the development of new fibre core materials, to addressing limits imposed by SBS and TMI, to high-speed beam and polarisation shaping, to multi-channel kW level energy delivery, and finally using deep learning to solve the complexity challenge associated with coherent beam combination.

The role

Within HiPPo, your specific task will be to develop a ‘digital fibre laser’, through the neural-network control of a tiled array of fibre lasers in a coherent beam combination architecture, for unlocking novel power scaling and beam shaping capabilities in real-time. You will work at the Optoelectronics Research Centre (www.southampton.ac.uk/about/faculties-schools-departments/optoelectronics-research-centre) in a project team of eight PDRAs focused on delivering the next generation of HPFLs. You will have access to our state-of-the-art cleanroom facilities (www.zeplerinstitute.com/facilities), and be led by a team of world leading experts in the fibre laser and deep learning domains.

About you

You will have a PhD or equivalent professional qualifications and experience in an experimental discipline, ideally with experience in fibre optics and low-noise lasers and optical amplifiers, along with their practical implementation. Applications are also welcome from candidates nearing completion of a relevant PhD qualification. Whilst this is a laser development project, awareness of deep learning techniques is beneficial as you will be working closely with deep learning specialists.

Applications for Research Fellow positions will be considered from candidates who are working towards or nearing completion of a relevant PhD qualification. The title of Research Fellow will be applied upon successful completion of the PhD. Prior to the qualification being awarded the title of Senior Research Assistant will be given.

What we offer

The University of Southampton is in the top 1% of world universities and in the top 10 of the UK’s research-intensive universities. We are committed to sustainability and being a globally responsible university. We have recently been awarded the Platinum EcoAward, and strive to embed sustainability into all aspects of our individual and collective work. We aim to create an environment where everyone can thrive and are proactive in fostering a culture of inclusion, respect and equality of opportunity. With a generous holiday allowance, we are committed to supporting our staff and are open to flexible working.

This multi-disciplinary project offers an exciting opportunity for a postdoctoral researcher with a strong interest in exploring the interactions of microbial cells with each other and their environment.

The post holder will develop innovative approaches to define the mechanisms of chemical and physical interactions between cells that result in changes in gene expression, metabolism, cell morphology or even inhibition of competing populations. Findings will be both fundamentally important and provide insights into e.g., the filamentous/invasive growth of pathogenic yeast, novel microbial strategies to suppress spoilage organisms in foods and beverages, or opportunities to disrupt the impact of vector insects such as the pest Drosophila suzukii fruit fly.

The post holder will join the lab of Prof Vladimir Jiranek that recently relocated to the University of Southampton (Prof V Jiranek | Uni Soton), and have the opportunity to interact with several PhD students working on related topics in the context of a diverse and successful School of Biological Sciences (https://www.southampton.ac.uk/about/faculties-schools-departments/school-of-biological-sciences). The Jiranek lab also works extensively with international yeast biotechnology companies, thereby offering a vital industrial perspective on the work and the potential for future joint funding or employment opportunities.

Based in the Life Sciences Building at the University’s Highfield Campus, the post is ERE level 4, full time and available for 2 years in the first instance. The term may be extended subject to the success of funding applications.

Southampton, and nearby Winchester, are great cities to live in and are <1.5 hr train journey from London and near international airports linking you to the world.

Applicants should have a PhD or equivalent professional qualification and experience in microbiology, biotechnology or a related field.

Applications for Research Fellow positions will be considered from candidates who are working towards or nearing completion of a relevant PhD qualification. The title of Research Fellow will be applied upon successful completion of the PhD. Prior to the qualification being awarded the title of Senior Research Assistant will be given.

We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and welcome applicants who support our mission of inclusivity.
