Student assistant (m/f/d) at the Professorship of Laser Technology and Spectroscopy

The Chair of Laser Technology & Spectroscopy at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Helmut Schmidt University / German Armed Forces University Hamburg, Univ.-Prof. Dr. Pronin, offers to the earliest possible date

Student assistant position (m/f/d)

(12,82€/hour - 13,83 €/hour, max. 19h/Week)

for a limited duration of 6 months

The research activities at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering focus on fundamental laser research for civil uses with a special emphasis on spectroscopic applications. Our fields of research range from the development of disk laser oscillators and XUV frequency comb spectroscopy to the investigation of non-linear effects in multipass cells and the laser-matter interaction in <50 fs regime (1 fs = 10-15 s) [1]. The newly developed laser systems and spectroscopic methods offer a broad potential for applications in precision XUV spectroscopy, ultrafast spectroscopy, and ultra-precise, next-generation material processing.
