The essay is to provide an opportunity for scholars to learn more about Singapore and appreciate the country that the scholarship donors were born in and are immensely proud of. They write:
“It is hoped that by reading, reflecting, analysing, and writing on one aspect of Singapore’s people, economy, geography, history, culture, political system, etc, that the scholar can gain insight in to Singapore and what makes it tick. For instance, how did Singapore become successful given its being potentially fragmented society of many races, religions, cultures with four official languages (English and three major Asian languages), possibly pulling in several different directions? At a geopolitical level, how did Singapore become so successful, despite it being a small island, surrounded by big neighbours and maintain its Asian identity, despite English being the lingua franca, and therefore exposed to Western culture. While holding a view or expressing an opinion is encouraged, students should not use the essay to advocate changing Singapore society or how its people conduct itself. While critical thinking is encouraged, scholars are asked to approach the task respectfully and not use the essay as opportunity to advocate changing Singapore society and culture.”

The Semiconductor Nanophotonics lab at the Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands) has an open PhD student position on nanophotonic lab-on-fiber sensing.
Background: Lab-on-fiber sensing
Optical fibers carry optical signals over large distances and are widely used for communications. They are also increasingly used for sensing, as they allow gathering information from environments which are far or hard to reach (from arteries to dikes). Fiber sensors are compact, minimally-invasive and potentially inexpensive. However, the applications have so far mostly be limited to temperature and pressure/strain sensing. By building a sensor on the tip of the fiber and properly functionalizing it, it is in principle possible to sense all physical, chemical and biological properties of the environment, turning the fiber into a powerful sensing instrument. This “lab-on-fiber” technology has so far been hampered by the difficulty of realizing the sensors on the tiny fiber tips. Our group has recently demonstrated a method to fabricate sensors and photonic circuits on a semiconductor wafer and transfer them to a fiber tip. This allows harnessing the power of integrated photonics to build complex sensing structures on fiber tips and opens the way to a new generation of fiber sensors.
Project description
The selected candidate will perform applied research in integrated photonics and optical sensing. He/she will conceive, realize and characterize nanophotonic devices and circuits on fiber tips, and test their application in different sensing problems, including sensing of molecular biomarkers.
The project will be supervised by Prof. A. Fiore and co-supervised by Dr. P. Zijlstra at TU/e. A close collaboration is foreseen with the partners of a Dutch-Taiwanese consortium, including research visits to Taiwan. The PhD student will be integrated in a young, dynamic and highly collaborative team active in this area.
Requirements
We welcome applications from candidates with a Master degree in physics or electrical engineering and with a background in optics or photonics. Candidates must show interest in experimental physics and demonstrate the drive and capacity to independently tackle different aspects of a problem while working in a team.
Application
Applications should include:
- A cover letter explaining your motivation and qualifications for the position
- A detailed CV
- Names and contact information of two or more references
- A brief summary of your Master thesis
Screening of applications will start as soon as applications are received and will continue until the position has been filled.
