Scholarship Description
PhD Scholarship in Simulation of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) Images
As a PhD student at TU Delft, you’ll collaborate with ASML to develop simulation models for SEM images. This project aims to understand the physics behind image formation in SEMs, including phenomena caused by surface charges. You will translate these models into software and conduct simulations. The unique opportunity to compare your simulations with real SEM images using state-of-the-art equipment will be part of your role.
Eligibility
To be eligible for this scholarship, you should have an MSc in Applied Physics or Electrical Engineering. You should also possess skills in modeling, C++ and Python programming, and have a deep knowledge of solid-state physics. An interest or experience in electron-matter interaction, condensed matter physics, or electron beam imaging is highly beneficial.
Required Documents
To apply, prepare the following documents:
- Motivation letter (max. half A4) focusing on the project.
- Detailed CV (max. 2 pages).
- Copies of your BSc and MSc degrees and transcripts.
- Contact information for at least two relevant references.
How to Apply
