Master thesis : Inverse design of nanophotonic through generative deep learning models

Would you like to gain experience in a modern and professional team and learn firsthand how research and development in the field of computational imaging works? Then you've come to the right place! At the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation IOSB, we turn the latest scientific findings into technical innovations and want to make our contribution to shaping the future.

Nowadays, metasurfaces play a crucial role in the development of ultra-compact and multifunctional lenses, as well as in other applications. However, the design process for metasurfaces presents challenges due to the extensive range of design options and the time-consuming electromagnetic simulations. In recent years, generative deep neural networks have made significant advancements, as seen in technologies such as ChatGPT and high-quality image generation. These networks can be utilized for the inverse design of nanophotonic devices.

Interested? Then apply now! We are currently looking for reinforcement for our team (Computational Imaging Research Group) that creates novel imaging systems with unprecedented capabilities.

Be part of change

• Literature review on state-of-the-art machine learning libraries and frameworks
• Research and develop machine learning models for inverse design of nanophotonics
• Optimize and evaluate model performance for real-world applications
