Courses academic year 2024/2025

Courses in the current academic year are added at the moment they are finalised in the Osiris system. Therefore it is possible that the list is not yet complete for the whole academic year.

Courses academic year 2023/2024

Available projects for MSc and BSc assignments in my group are listed here. Feel free to contact me (d.a.i.marpaung@utwente.nl, office: Meander 127) if you are interested in these projects. Each project can be tailored either for MSc or BSc assignment.

Current projects

Light and Sound-based Signal processing in Silicon Nitride (NWO Vidi)

The project will focus on the study, design, and realization of silicon nitride-based optical waveguides and that efficiently guide and interact light and acoustic waves and support efficient stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) process. These new class of waveguides will form the basis a programmable Brillouin signal processing circuit with applications ranging from advanced lasers and optical frequency combs, telecommunications to integrated quantum photonics.

On-Chip Photonic Control of Gigahertz Phonons (NWO Start Up)

In this project, we aim to study the feasibility of controlling the properties gigahertz acoustic phonons in nanophotonic devices through nonlinear photonic interactions. The research will focus on photon-phonon coupling, coherent nonlinear optical processes, and manipulation of optical materials with tunable properties.
