Openings
Are you interested in single-molecule biophysics, acoustofluidics and/or 2D materials nanodevices? We are looking for talented and motivated experimentalists to join our team.
PhD students
PhD position on developing methods for imaging and sensing dynamic phenomena in soft and bioinspired matter (4 years)
Postdocs
Postdoc position - Single-molecule biophysics at 2D material interfaces (1.5 years, ERC funding)
In this interdisciplinary project you will combine cutting-edge nanofabrication techniques, 2D materials nanomechanics and nanophotonics, and fluorescence imaging to innovate single-molecule detection platforms. You will have the opportunity to develop new fundamental insights into light-matter interactions at the nanoscale for application in next-generation protein fingerprinting.
Bachelor and Master Thesis projects
We welcome motivated students who want to work at the interface of nanotechnology and biophysics. Current available projects are listed below:
-
Engineering 2D material nanoprobes as ultrasensitive biomolecule detectors
-
Surface acoustic waves (SAW) devices for on chip transport of single molecules
-
Engineering programmable DNA origami nanoactuators for size selective biosensing
-
Acoustic transport in SAW devices with suspended 2D membranes
If you are interested, please contact Sabina Caneva.
