Graduate Research Assistant Opportunity in Flexible Printed Electronics at Birck Nanotechnology Center
Project Description:
This research focuses on scalable manufacturing technologies including printing and laser processing technologies to create flexible cost-effective circuits for potential use in wearable healthcare, smart packaging, and automobiles. This research will focus on identifying materials and process optimization for creating proper circuit geometry, with required dielectric / insulation materials to minimize electrical interference between adjacent printed signal lines. The research will evaluate electrical and mechanical characterization of the printed circuits. The student will have the opportunity of working with the state of the art roll-to-roll electronic printing facility at Birck Nanotechnology Center and directly engage with one of the leading automotive industries in USA through weekly meetings and onsite visits. The students involved in this project will be co-advised between ECE and MSE department to perform cutting edge research and advance the field of flexible printed electronics.
Assistantship: Paid ½ and ¼ time (with tuition waiver and monthly stipend)
Location: Birck Nanotechnology Center
