Multiple Ph.D. student positions are available in Fall of 2010 in Professor David Wei’s group, in the Department of Chemistry of University of Florida.
The group is developing a vibrant and productive research program focusing on discovering novel electronic and optical properties of metallic and semiconductor nanomaterials and their implications for electronics, photonics, energy, and biomedicine.
A fundamental understanding of the structure-dependent localized optical properties of nanostructures will lead to comprehensive knowledge of the surface plasmon-directed growth of novel anisotropic nanostructures, and design rules for the synthesis and fabrication of hybrid nanostructures with optimized properties for solar energy harvesting, conversion and storage, visible light photocatalysis, chemical and biological detection, drug delivery, and cancer therapeutics. All these projects are high impact and interdisciplinary in nature that combine analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, and materials science and engineering.
The group has strong connection with US national labs with joint projects and supplies opportunities for summer internship. Interested students are welcome to send CV and research statement directly to wei@chem.ufl.edu.
