LumiLab offers a variety of projects for the master thesis research of physics students from Ghent University.  Clicking the titles below will redirect you to Plato for more information about these topics. Feel free to contact the promotor or supervisor with any questions you might have.

• Lanthanide networks in luminescent materials: insights from Monte-Carlo simulations
• Small and sensitive: multiple protection strategies for light emitting quantum dots
• Thermally stimulated luminescence for defect characterization in composites
• Microscopic investigation of redox processes in luminescent materials
• Quantum mechanical view on ultrafast scintillators
• Gallium nitride illuminated
• A post-plasma photocatalytic reactor for air purification
• Identification of optically active trapping defects in persistent phosphors
• Near-infrared emitting luminescent materials for multimodal medical diagnostics
• Samarium sulfide (SmS) thin films: a sensitive pressure sensor with unlocked potential

An overview of all master thesis subjects at the Department of Solid State Sciences can be found on this webpage.
