Opportunities for Graduate Students

We have multiple project opportunities available for graduate students in the areas of computational electromagnetics and quantum electromagnetics research. Project topics are primarily aimed at developing advanced modeling methodologies for analyzing quantum information processing devices, especially circuit quantum electrodynamics architectures. However, there are also opportunities to apply the computational electromagnetics methods being developed to a variety of classical applied electromagnetics technologies that are challenging to model efficiently.

Interested PhD/MS students should contact Professor Roth directly and include a copy of their CV/resume.

Opportunities for Undergraduate Students

We are always interested in working with highly motivated undergraduate students that want to gain research experience. We have a number of projects that are appropriate for various levels of experience and research interests, ranging from supporting graduate students by developing meshing and visualization tools to developing numerical models for simple quantum systems. We are typically looking for ECE and physics students, but mathematics and computer science students who are interested in modeling physical systems are also encouraged to work with us. 

Currently, undergraduate research will be coordinated through the VIP program at Purdue to support an active NSF grant on developing large-scale quantum information preserving computational electromagnetics methods to improve the design/optimization process of a wide range of quantum technologies. This team will be in operation from at least Fall 2023 -- Spring 2025. Students are able to enroll in this course-based research opportunity during any of these semesters, and can participate for multiple semesters if they wish. More information on the VIP team and how to enroll in the course can be found by navigating through the VIP website.
