PhD position in Houston University

2015 Fall Ph.D. opportunities @ University of Houston, Houston, Texas, USA

Multiple Background: Mechanical, Electrical, Materials, Physics, Chemistry, Polymer, etc.

Requirement: CSC scholarship

I am currently accepting applications for multiple Ph.D.s starting in Fall 2015. The students will join my research group at University of Houston. My group is primarily affiliated with Department of Mechanical Engineering, and adjunct in Materials Science and Engineering, and Electrical and Computer Engineering Departments. My group research is very interdisciplinary, by crossing the edges of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, materials science, etc.

One major direction is stretchable/flexible electronics, a novel format electronic system that can be stretched, bent, twisted and folded. Stretchable/Flexible Electronics can have very broad applications that are impossible for hard, planar integrated circuits that exist today. Examples range from smart medical devices, flexible display, to soft robotics, structural health monitors and inspection systems. Potential candidates with strong interest and background in solid mechanics, solid state electronics, polymers, materials, and related disciplines, are welcome to apply.

Another direction is mainly related to nano/micro materials and devices fabrication and characterization, driven by applications in advanced nano-electronics, photonics, nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), etc. The target of this research mostly performed by experiments aims at solving modern challenges in electronics, healthcare, energy, etc. Potential candidates with experience and knowledge in material synthesis, device fabrication, electrochemistry, energy storage/harvesting, and related disciplines, are welcome to apply.
