A Research Fellow position is available for a highly motivated and talented researcher with a strong interest in high power fibre lasers to work on a project within the EPSRC Programme Grant on Smart Fibre-Optic High-Power Photonics (HiPPo). The HiPPo programme (https://www.hippo-laser.co.uk/) is focused on understanding how to control the properties of fibre lasers, to go beyond the “fixed” fibre lasers that are currently used in manufacturing and towards “smart” fibre lasers that are automatically reconfigured and optimised in real-time. The aim is to revolutionise manufacturing by developing the next generation of reconfigurable, scalable, resilient, power efficient, 'smart' fibre laser tools for modern day manufacturing. Our research vision for HiPPo includes the development of new smart fibre optic technologies that can handle high-power photonics applications. This includes the design and fabrication of novel fibre optic components and systems that can withstand high optical powers and enable new functionalities over a range of operating wavelengths. The primary objective of this specific project is to explore new approaches for power scaling of fibre lasers operating in the two-micron wavelength band to the kilowatt regime motivated by the needs of applications such as industrial laser processing. The project will involve close collaboration with other members of the HiPPo project team working on a range of topics in the field of high-power lasers. Applicants should have a PhD (or equivalent professional qualifications and experience) in Physics, Engineering or a related discipline. Applications will also be considered from candidates who are working towards or nearing completion of a relevant PhD qualification.

SIT's Punggol campus is a testbed for the systems around which this role is built. The campus runs on Singapore's first Multi-Energy Microgrid (MEMG), which is the largest microgrid in Singapore and the first MEMG on a university campus in Southeast Asia. The MEMG was built and operated with SP Group, integrating solar PV, thermal, and distributed energy resources into a live, sandbox-grade environment for energy transition research. The campus also houses the Energy Efficiency Technology Centre (EETC), established with the National Environment Agency, whose Energy Efficiency Training Facility is a first-of-its-kind integrated industrial systems plant in Singapore — giving staff and students a working industrial process environment for development, applied research, and hands-on training. Alongside these, the Centre for Intelligent Robotics at Punggol Digital District, together with the SIT–NVIDIA AI Centre, gives staff and students authentic cyber-physical environments in which to develop, integrate, and stress-test new technologies under realistic operating conditions. In parallel, SIT works closely with the maritime ecosystem on decarbonisation and digitalisation. Through its Future Ship and System Design Programme and partnerships with DNV's Maritime Decarbonisation & Autonomy Regional Centre of Excellence, Seatrium's Offshore & Marine Digital Learning Lab, RINA, and MPA-linked initiatives, SIT engages directly with shipowners, yards, classification societies, and regulators on zero-emission and autonomous vessels, shore charging and future-fuel bunkering, digital twins, and AI-enabled remote operations. Taken together, these platforms, the deep industry partnership network across the energy and maritime sectors and next-generation AI and robotics use cases, provide an exciting ecosystem of real assets, operators, and operational problems to which security, resilience, and safe-operation research can be applied, tested, and translated into practice. Areas of interest in OT cybersecurity This search prioritises practitioners. We are looking, first and foremost, for candidates with substantial, hands-on experience defending real-world industrial environments as asset owners, operators, integrators, consultants, or responders, who can bring that operational experience, engineering constraints and sector-relevant problems into the classroom and the lab. We welcome accomplished academics, but the strongest candidates will have spent significant time on plant floors, in control rooms, and inside live OT networks and environments. Candidates should be able to translate that field experience into rigorous, hands-on teaching, authentic learning experiences, and useful, industry-relevant outcomes. We are interested in the security, resilience, and safe operation of real-world industrial systems, particularly in the maritime and energy sectors, including secure applications of robotics and AI in these operational environments where critical systems must continue to operate safely under degraded or contested conditions, and cyber decisions have physical, operational, and safety consequences. Relevant areas include: secure deployment and brownfield hardening of OT systems already in live operation safe modernisation, segmentation, remote access, and control integration in industrial or infrastructure environments OT testing, experimentation, and validation environments that reflect real production constraints OT incident response, resilience, degraded operations, and safe recovery OT asset discovery, dependency mapping, criticality analysis, and operational risk visibility security of cyber-physical systems, controllers (e.g., PLCs, RTUs, HMIs, DCS, IEDs, power converters and charging systems), embedded devices, industrial protocols (e.g., Modbus, CAN, DNP3, OPC-UA, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, BACnet), and industrial control networks consequence-aware security analysis for complex OT systems-of-systems Key responsibilities You will contribute to SIT's mission through a combination of teaching, curriculum development, applied scholarship, and external engagement in OT cybersecurity.
