Nano and Microfluidics Laboratory

Nature Inspired Surface Engineering (NISE) Laboratory at the School of Engineering at the Stevens Institute of Technology invites applications for a post-doc and a graduate research assistantship positions as follows.

Position 1: Post-Doc

There is an immediate position for the project of ‘Multifunctional Nano-Engineered Surfaces’. The project involves nanostructure fabrication of various materials including silicon, silicon carbide, diamond, aluminum, titanium, glass, and polymers. It requires good background, experience, and skill in micromachining, nanofabrication, materials sciences, and surface chemistry.

Position 2: PhD student

There is an immediate position for the project of ‘Optofluidic Waveguides and Sensors’. The project involves the fabrication of microchannels and nanostructures, flow and optical measurement. It requires good background, experience, and skill in micromachining, nanofabrication, optics, photonics, experimental fluid mechanics, and surface chemistry.

General:

Depending on funding availability, we will also frequently seek for motivated graduate students from a variety of disciplines including Mechanical Engineering, Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Material Science, Physics, and other related majors to carry out research in either one of the following areas depending on his/her interest: 1) Nanopatterning and Nanostructure fabrication; 2) Self Assembly of Nanomaterials; 3) Experimental Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer; 4) Microfluidic, Nanofluidics, and Optofluidics; 5) Cell-Material Interactions.

If you are interested, please contact Prof. Chang-Hwan Choi. Interested applicants are strongly encouraged to send to Prof. Chang-Hwan Choi the copies of applications including a cover letter and a resume including education (with GPA), relevant coursework, research and work experience, publication, TOEFL/GRE scores, research goal and plan, etc. It is also recommended to apply to the graduate program in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology and indicate your desire to work with Prof. Chang-Hwan Choi.

NYC seen from Stevens

Stevens Institute of Technology is a technological university located in Hoboken, New Jersey, USA, founded in 1870. Stevens is the fourth-oldest technological university in the United States. Stevens is known for its rigorous engineering, science, and technological management curricula. Research & Doctoral Studies at Stevens are recognized for their collaborative interdisciplinary focus in key areas of global importance such as Multi-Scale Engineering; Stevens has recently developed the Nanotechnology Graduate Program. The goal of the Nanotechnology Graduate Program is to create a vibrant interdisciplinary environment that provides stimulating and cross-fertilizing educational training in nanotechnology to contribute to the Institute’s research excellence in related frontiers while preserving strong disciplinary fundamentals. The mission of the Program is to equip Stevens’ graduate students with the interdisciplinary intellectual capacity necessary to compete and excel in the ever expanding world of nanotechnology.
