Ph.D. opportunities in ME @ CU-Boulder

I am currently accepting applications for two Ph.D. students starting in Spring or Fall 2012. The students will join my research group (http://www.colorado.edu/MCEN/people/faculty/xiao.html) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Colorado Boulder.

One of my research directions is microfabrication and MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS). The goal of this research is to create 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.

Another one is mechanics of nanomaterials, to study the adhesion and deformation of nanotubes and graphenes on silicon and quartz substrates, for their applications in advanced nanoelectronics and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). This project will utilize both analytical and numerical methods to reveal the fundamental mechanics and physics in nanoscale systems.

Prospective students should have strong background in Engineering Mechanics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or related disciplines. Students with a Master degree are especially encouraged to apply.

If you are interested, please contact: Jianliang.Xiao@colorado.edu, with your CV, a copy of transcript, and the contact information of 3 references. The application deadline for Fall 2012 is Nov 11. For possibilities of starting in Spring 2012, please contact me directly.
