“If you want to master something, teach it.” - Richard Feynman

 Besides our desire to master our research topics by teaching them as per the quote above, we take great joy and pride in educating young minds and preparing them as future scientists and leaders. Thus, we are constantly trying to develop new courses to address the rapidly evolving requirements of industry, research, and society at large. For example, during the winter semester 2024/25, we developed and taught two new courses entitled “Foundations of Quantum Technologies” and “Quantum Magnonics” with an encouraging response and participation from students. If there is a contemporary topic that you think would be great to have in our coursework at the RPTU, please write an email to Prof. Kamra with your suggestion.

For the courses being taught in the current and upcoming semesters, please look up the KIS profile of Prof. Kamra.

“Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.” - Richard Feynman

In today’s research landscape, pure curiosity and the joy of learning are expected to go hand in hand with contributing to and advancing society. Thus, it can be hard for a young student or scientist to identify the right thesis topic. That is why we suggest the students to consider their goals and abilities, and leave the choice of the precise thesis topic on our broad experience and availability of projects (see our Research page). We advise the students to consider the following questions:

• Do I like or want to learn analytical calculations or numerical simulations or both?
• Do I like or want to learn working in a team or by myself?
• Do I like or want to learn purely theory or working together with experimentalists?
• Do I want to prepare for a job in industry after my thesis or for an academic position in a university?
• Do I want a thesis that leads to a publication in a reputed journal or a thesis that allows me to taste the research process?
• Do I want to learn only physics or also leadership skills?

Once you have thought about the above and any other pertinent questions, we can discuss and develop a thesis plan custom designed to strive for your goals together.

What we offer: Tailored supervision, commitment towards the student's development, social group activities, contemporary research topics, and well-planned projects.

What we expect: Motivation to learn,  direct communication, and contributing to a nurturing group environment.

If you like to join our group, please write to Prof. Kamra after having considered the text above. We are excited to hear from you.
