This PhD studentship in the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford, supervised by Dr Safeer Chenattukuzhiyil in the MIND Research Group, focuses on developing next-generation computing devices using two-dimensional van der Waals materials and spintronics — exploring spin conductance rather than conventional charge transport for nanoscale information storage, logic processing, and neuromorphic communication.
The project is funded by the supervisor's Royal Society grant, which covers tuition fees and a standard stipend (exact amount not specified in the posting). UK, EU, and international students are welcome to apply. Candidates should have a strong undergraduate or master's degree in physics or materials science; experience in nanofabrication, electrical measurements, or spintronics is advantageous. The program begins October 2027.
