Topics for bachelor and master projects (TFG, TFM) for:

-       ESEIAAT engineering bachelor and master degrees

-       Master degree in Photonics

-       Bachelor and master degree in Engineering Physics

 

Remote sensing using an optical system and machine learning

 

Experimental control of laser-generated speckle patterns

 

Characterization of complex optical signals by using machine learning and signal processing tools

 

Experimental optimization of the speckle contrast

 

Semiconductor laser lab (Gaia Buiding, UPC Campus Terrassa)

 

Our research is highly inter-disciplinary and many more research topics are available (in biophysics, neuronal dynamics, Earth science, complex networks).

 

What are we doing?

    We study nonlinear phenomena in various physical systems.

Why?

    A good understanding and control of the mechanisms that trigger instabilities allow to develop systems that work properly.

Why doing a project or an internship with us?

    You will learn to work with sophisticated lab equipment

    You will acquire programming skills and experience with data analysis tools.

    You will learn to apply engineering techniques to advance science, and you will contribute to solve real-world problems with socio-economic impact.

    You will gain experience in an international and multicultural work environment.
