Ph.D. opportunities for Fall 2027:
We expect 2-3 Ph.D. openings in 2027. One position will focus on Developing AI scientists for self-driving labs (seeking applicants with backgrounds in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or related fields). For the other positions, backgrounds aligned with our key research areas are most welcome.
Stretchable neuromorphic electronics for edge computing
Developing high-density, intrinsically stretchable OECT arrays for on-body edge processing of complex physiological data and robotic control.
Automated synthesis for molecular electronics
Leveraging automated synthesis to systematically decode the role of side-chain chemistry for molecular charge transport.
Robust molecule-metal interfaces for charge transport
Establishing stable and robust Ag–C covalent bonds using unprotected terminal acetylenes to enhance molecular conductance and long-term stability.
Charge transport in sequence-defined oligomers
Elucidating the critical role of primary monomer sequence in determining conductance pathways in single-molecule junctions.
