Prospective Students
Our group creates an inclusive research environment fostering curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and dedication. We cultivate the collective growth of the whole team, as we enter this new era of microelectronics where there are increasing global demands for a new generation of innovators traversing and blurring traditional boundaries.
[New!] For Fall 2025 cycle, We are recruiting 1–3 self-motivated PhD students with strong interests and proven background in the following aspects to build exciting stuff!
- CMOS+X with cleanroom fabrication experience: emerging NVM/DRAM device technologies, beyond-Si BEOL transistors, and 3D integration.
- ASIC tapeouts: domain-specific accelerator design and prototyping (AI, ML for Science, AR/VR), mixed-signal circuit design, analog computing, and chiplet-package co-designs.
If you feel you do not meet these bullet points for now, pause for a second, but don’t be discouraged. At the end of the day, PhD is a journey where you’re trained how to pick good problems and do good research. Background is very important, but it’s not everything. We’re really looking for those who are motivated, persistent and hardworking.
Ph.D. Students (update: Aug. 2024)
[New!] Multiple fully-funded Ph.D. positions are available for Fall 2025. If you are interested in joining the NanoX research group, please feel free to contact me via email with your CV, transcript, and a brief description of your research background and interests, emphasizing on how they align with our research.
When submitting your application to Purdue ECE PhD Program, please choose both Microelectronics & Nanotechnology (MN) area and VLSI & Circuit Design (VC) area to be considered for our group.
M.S. and Undergrad Students
If you are currently a M.S. or undergrad student at Purdue and would like to chat about research opportunities, please feel free to reach out via email.
Purdue ECE undergrad students are encouraged to apply to Summer REU program to work within our group.
High-School Students
If you are a high-school student (in greater Lafayette area, and beyond) curious about academic research, you are welcome to email Prof. Li to discuss potential opportunities in our lab.
Postdoctoral Scholars (update: Aug. 2024)
[New!] We are looking for strong postdoc candidates under the Lillian Gilbreth Postdoctoral Fellowships at Purdue Engineering program. Refer to project 1 and project 2 for more details. Candidates interested in these opportunities should send an email with CV to discuss.
