Available master theses
The SDIC laboratory is always looking for curious and motivated students willing to challeng 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. 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.
