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.

• Bringing an optical dosimeter from the lab to the field
• Small and sensitive: multiple protection strategies for light emitting quantum dots
• Thermally stimulated luminescence for defect characterization in composites
• A post-plasma photocatalytic reactor for air purification
• Near-infrared emitting luminescent materials for multimodal medical diagnostics
• Identification of optically active trapping defects in persistent phosphors
• Samarium sulfide (SmS) thin films: a sensitive pressure sensor with unlocked potential
• Turning glow-in-the-dark materials into remote luminescence thermometers

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