Message from David V. Plant

Welcome to my website.
Have a look around and learn more about what we do at the Plant Group at McGill University.
I hope you enjoy your visit.

Current Openings
I am currently recruiting Masters, Ph.D.’s, and Post-Docs for admission to the Plant-Group. Note that I accept strong students directly into the Ph.D. program from a Bachelors degree; a Masters degree is not required by McGill Unversity. Researchers interested in the following topics are encouraged to apply:
- Fiber optic transmission systems
- Optical Interconnects
- Nanophotonics
- Silicon photonics
- Optoelectronics
- Fiber optics
- Photonic Integration
Please send your CV to: david.plant@mcgill.ca
