Jesper Wallentin
Our research concerns the intersection of nanoscience and X-ray science. We use X-rays to investigate nanostructured devices, and we develop nanostructures as X-ray detectors. We have a strong collaboration with the Nanomax beamline at MAX IV, and we also visit other synchrotrons for experiments. Most of the projects also involve colleagues in NanoLund, and we are frequent users of the Lund Nano Lab.
We can offer many kinds of different MSc and BSc thesis projects, focusing on X-ray analysis, data analysis or nanofabrication. Please contact Jesper for more information. You can find a non-exhaustive list of ideas for projects under the headline "Semiconductor nanostructure".
