05/2018-07/2018 Intern on laser-fiber optics

Deba worked mainly on OBST2. He took active participation in building the breadboard and the instrument control for measurements. He also took part in preliminary theoretical calculations and ZEMAX simulations for imaging systems for CEMIC.

From July 1st, 2020, he joined as a Ph.D. student in the Resonant Nanophotonics Group at AMOLF, Amsterdam, in a collaborative project of AMOLF, TU/e, and the LED-company Lumileds to improve next-generation solid-state lighting. He will receive his Ph.D. degree from the University of Amsterdam after completion.

In 2018 Debapriya Pal worked on an intern project to build a novel fiber-coupled slave laser.  He pursued the 5-year BS-MS Dual Degree Program in Physics at the Indian Institute of Science and Research Education, Kolkata (India) under Prof. Ayan BanerjeeDuring his master thesis, he explored the spin-orbit interaction of tightly focused light beams in optical tweezers using angular spectrum representation, designed with a stratified medium in the path of the trapping beam. 

Debapriya Pal was awarded the prestigious  2018 Optics and Photonics Education Scholarship by the international society for optics and photonics SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics for his potential contributions to the field of optics, photonics, or related field.

Full CV: Download
Niklas is an environmental Archaeologist, who is interested in the geochemical analysis of marine shells to determine short-term climatic fluctuations in the past.
He was employed at IESL-FORTH for two years to develop an efficient way of analysing archaeological shell remains using LIBS as part of his EU-funded Marie Curie Project.
In 2021 he started a new research group at the Leibniz Research Institute for Archaeology in Mainz (Germany) in which he and his team apply LIBS to archaeological shells from the Mediterranean dating to the Neolithic period.
