PhD Scholarship in Hybrid Diamond Quantum Sensing Materials

PhD Scholarship in Hybrid Diamond Quantum Sensing Materials

This project aims to incorporate diamond quantum sensors into other materials like glasses and polymers to add sensing functionality to optical fibres and polymer-based bioscaffolds.

Fluorescent colour centres in diamonds are at the heart of many emerging quantum sensing technologies, which are used in applications ranging from biomedicine to defence.

This project aims to incorporate diamond quantum sensors into other materials like glasses and polymers to add sensing functionality to optical fibres and polymer-based bioscaffolds.The project involves the processing and characterisation of fluorescent diamond particles, their integration into glasses and polymers, the fabrication of hybrid functional materials like glass and polymer fibres, the characterisation of the created hybrid materials, and the development of these materials towards quantum sensing applications.
