The
Nanophotonics group at the National University of Singapore is
recruiting for a total of ten fully-funded five-year PhD
fellowship positions this year, and we are recruiting for multiple
funded positions at our US organization at the University of Delaware.
Our research concerns silicon photonics – essentially, re-designing
computer chips so that they can manipulate photons as well as
electrons. Some years ago, we founded one of the leading companies
in this field (http://www.luxtera.com). More recently, we founded the OpSIS foundry multi-project wafer (MPW) service (http://www.opsisfoundry.org).
This is an effort funded by the defense department and Intel, among
others, to open up advanced processes to the world research community.
For more information on why we founded the OpSIS effort, and our
long-term goals, please see our articles in Nature Photonics about the
need in the field for such a service.

Also, here is an open-access article that appeared in Nature about our efforts on OpSIS: http://www.nature.com/news/photonic-chips-made-easier-1.10264
Please note there is a December 15, 2012 deadline for some applicants. Please see our site at http://nanophotonics.ece.udel.edu/recruiting_letter_2012.html for more information.
