Advanced Manufacturing and Functional Devices Lab

We always look for highly motivated graduate students with a solid background and hands-on experience in one or multiple areas: 3D printing, micro/nanoelectronics, optics, mechanics, and hardware interface.

Our group aims to develop innovative technologies in pushing the capabilities into a whole new dimension, including advanced manufacturingnovel photonic devices, as well as high efficiency energy conversion systems.

We’re hiring!

We’re currently recruiting fully funded PhD students to work on 1. advanced photopolymerization-based 3D printing processes and system optimization (preferably with a background in mechanical manufacturing or optics); 2. printable functional materials, including multifunctional hydrogels, liquid crystal elastomers, and composite materials.
