Advanced Manufacturing and Functional Devices Lab
Exploring novel micro/nano 3D printing technologies, mechanical and electromagnetic metamaterials, and functional devices.
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 manufacturing, novel 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.
Please send the following documents to [[email protected]] (subject line: PhD Application – [Your Name])
1️⃣ Cover letter describing your research interests, background, and career goals
2️⃣ CV or resume
3️⃣ Academic transcripts (unofficial acceptable for initial review)
4️⃣ Contact info for 2–3 references
