<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">Dear All, <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">As indicated in December, we need projects for the MSc students and the selection process should start end of February. We need 22 projects.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">Rough indications are given below.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">Nanoscience course: 6 (of which I expect to be 4-5 in chemistry)
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">other interest in nanoscience / solid state: 4 (one explicit call for solar cells)
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">experimental quantum optics: 1 <o:p>
</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">photonics/optics (which can be in EQOP): 6
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">theoretical quantum optics/quantum information: 2-3
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">plasma: 2 <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">plasmas with astrophysical relevance: 1<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">The project will run full time (60 credits) from beginning of June till end of Aug:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">Project start: 04/06/2018<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">Report hand-in: 21/08/2018<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">Assessment: 27/08 - 31/08/2018 (main), 03/09 - 07/09/2018 (latecomers)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">The students were encouraged to talk to potential supervisors already and some of them might have done so. The selection process is as indicated.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">1. If a student and a supervisor negotiated a tailored project, this is theirs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">2. For the other students, a booklet with the suggested projects is distributed end of February from which they give three choices. The projects are then attributed prioritized via semester 1 performance.
In doubt, a Nanoscience student will have preference to get a project in the Nanoscience division before Applied Physics/Optical Technology students.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">Please forward your project propositions to Melanie till the 20<sup>th</sup> February (form attached) or indicate to her which of the projects from last year can be offered again.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
