[Academic] MSc project proposal, INPUT REQUIRED TILL Feb 20

[Melanie McInanny]

On behalf of Prof T. Ackemann



Dear All,



As indicated in December, we need projects for the MSc students and the selection process should start end of February. We need 22 projects.



Rough indications are given below.



Nanoscience course: 6 (of which I expect to be 4-5 in chemistry)

other interest in nanoscience / solid state: 4 (one explicit call for solar cells)

experimental quantum optics: 1

photonics/optics (which can be in EQOP): 6

theoretical quantum optics/quantum information: 2-3

plasma: 2

plasmas with astrophysical relevance: 1



The project will run full time (60 credits) from beginning of June till end of Aug:



Project start:      04/06/2018

Report hand-in: 21/08/2018

Assessment:      27/08 - 31/08/2018 (main), 03/09 - 07/09/2018 (latecomers)



The students were encouraged to talk to potential supervisors already and some of them might have done so. The selection process is as indicated.



1.  If a student and a supervisor negotiated a tailored project, this is theirs.

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.



Please forward your project propositions to Melanie till the 20th February (form attached) or indicate to her which of the projects from last year can be offered again.



Thanks for your help.



On behalf of Prof Ackemann
