Experimental Physics

Circuit quantum electrodynamics to probe strongly interacting electronic phases in atomically thin nanoelectronic devices

University of Basel

About the Project Atomically thin layers of various materials can be combined - almost at will - into novel artificial materials, with graphene structures being the most prominent examples. If two (or more) layers are combined at a certain twist angle between the crystal orientations, as illustrated in Fig.1a, an additional periodic modulation of the atomic lattice potential can emerge, often referred to as moiré superlattice.

Biochemistry

PhD position: Targeted Radioenhancing Nanoparticles for Neuroblastoma

University of Basel

About the Project This PhD project develops ultrasmall, intravenously deliverable hafnium oxide nanoparticles to improve radiotherapy for high-risk neuroblastoma, a pediatric cancer with poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Neuroblastoma remains a major unmet clinical need because high-risk disease is still associated with poor outcomes despite multimodal treatment, while conventional radio-chemotherapy is constrained by toxicity to healthy tissue.

Bioengineering

Rationally engineered hydrogels to control osteogenesis via mechanoregulation

University of Basel

About the Project We aim to pursue a new interdisciplinary approach, combining the synthesis of multi-functional culture-matrices with cell-instructive viscoelastic properties, in-depth cell characterisation, and computational modelling to investigate the relationship between matrix properties and osteogenesis.

Nanotechnology

Strained Germanium Quantum-Well Transistors for Integrated Cryogenic Spin Qubit Readout

University of Basel

About the Project Building a quantum computer that can solve real-world problems will require the integration of many highly coherent qubits. Hole-spin qubits in planar germanium quantum wells are among the most promising candidates for this goal, combining fast electrical control, compact device geometry, and excellent performance in a semiconductor platform.
