AMOLF integrated training in nanophotonics, femtophysics and mesoscopic biophysics

Ziel

The aim of the AMOCROSS project is to provide high-level interdisciplinary training to early-stage researchers at the interface of three emerging fields: nanophotonics, femtophysics and mesoscopic biophysics. Europe has a strong, often leading, position in these strategic fields of science. Purely mono-disciplinary training will not provide the best preparation for young scientists who will form the core of the future knowledge-based economy. For this reason, an early-stage training program is offered that is, from the start, interdisciplinary. In practice, this means that the trainees will work on a research project that bridges at least two of the three topics listed above.

The FOM Institute AMOLF in Amsterdam has structured its research in large research units. Individually, each unit aims to be at the forefront of its own core field yet the day-to-day research is strongly linked to that of the other units. AMOLF has an active interaction with industry; one AMOLF group is even located at Philips Research and AMOLF aims to extend industrial collaborations of this kind. The aim is to offer young scientists the experience of working in such a dynamic, competitive interdisciplinary environment. The three fields mentioned above are related by the techniques and methods employed.

The research in the fields covered by the program offers exciting scientific challenges with clear technological implications. Comprehensive research lines are offered on three topics, each of which contains two projects that link two o f the three research fields. One aim of the cross-training experience at AMOLF is to show prospective students that these research fields and their future applications should never be seen in isolation. To emphasize the importance of "consolidating" experimental observations in a theoretical framework, the experimental training is integrated with a theoretical/numerical-modelling program. At AMOLF, these activities are closely coupled.
