We are seeking highly motivated and hard-working undergraduate and graduate students with excellent communication and technical writing skills who are interested in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of material physics, nanofabrication processes, applied electromagnetics, integrated circuits, and systems. Our lab offers a unique opportunity to engage in pioneering research, particularly in understanding multiphysical field interactions—such as electromagnetic, acoustic, and optical fields—within emerging material systems and leveraging this knowledge to develop innovative devices and microelectronic solutions, advancing the frontiers of communications, computation, and sensing.
Who Should Apply?
We are searching for individuals who are passionate about innovation, particularly in the areas of integrated circuits and microsystems for communications, computation, and sensing. A desired candidate should be eager to contribute to theoretical research while actively engaging in hands-on experimentation. Students in our group will participate in fundamental material and device physics analysis, modeling, circuit and system design, microfabrication process development, material characterization, and the setup of experimental platforms, gaining invaluable hands-on experience that bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical engineering.
In addition to a strong drive to be at the cutting edge of emerging science and technologies, candidates should possess certain qualifications. We particularly encourage applications from individuals with experience in some of the following areas:
- A solid theoretical background in electromagnetics, RF circuits, nanofabrication processes, and/or materials science.
- Knowledge of quantum hardware.
- Hands-on experience with FEM modeling and circuit design tools such as COMSOL, HFSS, Keysight ADS, AWR, and Cadence.
- Proficiency in programming languages like MATLAB/SIMULINK, Labview, and Python.
- Experience with RF equipment, including network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and probe stations, as well as micro/nano fabrication and material characterization tools such as PVD, CVD, RIE, DRIE, wet bench processing, AFM, XRD, and SEM.
