Available master theses
The SDIC laboratory is always looking for curious and motivated students willing to challenge themselves in the field of radiation detection instrumentation. Depending on the desired activity, the laboratory offers to consolidate a practical and theoretical experience in its two main research areas: physics of semiconductor devices and integrated nuclear microelectronics, with focus on integrated circuits for spaceborne and astrophysics instrumentation. If you are interested in starting your thesis activity at SDIC-Lab, or you just want to have some more information on our current projects write to giuseppe.bertuccio@polimi.it an email including a short CV. Scholarship for theses projects available on request.
