12 Georg-Christoph-Lichtenberg PhD Scholarships, Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany (2016)

We invite You to apply for a PhD Scholarship within the PhD-program Tailored Light.

The impressive advance in the development of semiconductor light sources actually effects a far-reaching change in lighing technology. LEDs as light sources significantly increase the energy efficiency of lighting systems. Furthermore semiconductor light sources allow the precise definition of the local, temporal and specktral characteristics of the emitted light. In combination with optical structures, elements als actors on the micro- and nanoscale the separation between geometrical optics and wave optics dissipates. Diffrective optical elements, micro arrays and light sources with structures on the nanoscale are building blocks for completely new solutions.

The task of Tailored Light is to make use of the great potential of these technologies regarding the spatial, temporal and spectral adaption and manipulation of light and to make it accessible for many different applications.

Tailored Light has set itself the goal of providing outstanding education in excellent research projects with a short time to doctorate without quality loss.

Up to 12 Georg-Christoph-Lichtenberg-Scholarships will be granted.
