PhD Researcher in Machine Learning Enhanced Infrared Frequency Comb Spectroscopy | PhD researcher (m/f/x) for machine learning enhanced infrared frequency comb spectroscopy

Job Summary

This PhD position involves cutting-edge research at the intersection of plasma physics, laser spectroscopy, and artificial intelligence at Ruhr University Bochum. The successful candidate will focus on applying infrared frequency comb spectroscopy to analyze molecular species in low-pressure industrial plasmas. A core component of the role is developing and implementing machine learning algorithms to enhance data analysis and identify correlations between measured spectra and process control parameters. This role is highly collaborative, involving partnerships with Kiel University and Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology in the UK. The position offers a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between fundamental physics and industrial application, contributing to the optimization of plasma-chemical processes. Candidates will be responsible for experimental documentation, high-level data analysis, and presenting findings at international conferences, making it an ideal role for an aspiring scientist looking to build a strong professional network and academic profile.
