Work description

The objective of this work is the development of optofluidic solutions fabricated by femtosecond laser direct writing. Integrated optofluidic devices are used for the characterization of cells and other suspended particles and/or for optical trapping.

The fabrication process involves the creation of optical components, such as waveguides and lenses, as well as three-dimensional micromachining through erosion in aqueous solutions (FLICE – Femtosecond Laser Induced Chemical Etching).

Academic Qualifications

• PhD in Physics, Engineering Physics or similar.

Minimum profile required

• Postdoctoral experience, or a scientific track record following the PhD, compatible with the category of the scientific research career corresponding to the remuneration level defined below.
• Minimum knowledge of optics and programming is essential.

Preference factors

• Solid knowledge of guided optics, laser direct writing, and instrumentation will be considered an advantage.
