Doctoral Research Assistantship in ME at George Mason University
Kang Lab for Micro/Nano Mechanics and Photonics with 2D Materials (Department of Mechanical Engineering in the Volgenau School of Engineering at George Mason University) is pleased to announce two doctoral fellowship positions in targeted areas of study for the 2018-2019 academic year.
The Kang Lab in the department of Mechanical Engineering at George Mason University conducts research with fundamental studies on Micro and Nano Scale Mechanics and Photonics with Atomically-Thin Materials (a.k.a Two-Dimensional Materials such as graphene and Transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers such as MoS2 atomic layers.). Based on the studies, we research and develop flexible, wearable nano bio sensors and environmental sensors. We have been collaborating for intriguing research and various applications with researchers in the Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, School of Mechanical Engineering at National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT), Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), Georgia Institute of Technology, Department of Physics at Korea University, Department of Physics at George Mason University. With those efforts, we’ve published high impact journals including Nature Scientific Reports, Advanced Materials, Nano Letters, Nanoscale, Langmuir, Microelectronic Engineering, 2D Materials, and so on.
The Mechanical Engineering Doctoral Fellowship 1 will prepare an outstanding graduate student for an academic or applied research career focused on understanding of high performance, wireless gas sensors based on nanoporous materials. The fellow will gain nanosensors-relevant research experience based on nanomaterials during a program of study that may include courses in mechanics, materials science, photonics, nanooptics, and electronics.
The Mechanical Engineering Doctoral Fellowship 2 will prepare an outstanding graduate student for an academic or applied research career focused on strain engineering of atomically thin 2D materials for modulation of material’s mechanical, optical, and electronic properties for broad applications of Nano Bio sensors in health, military, energy, aerospace, and telecommunications. The program of study may include courses in materials science and mechanics of materials, solid state physics, photonics, plasmonics, optoelectronics, and micro- and nanoscale fluid mechanics.
Each fellowship includes full tuition and a stipend (~$2400 per month). In addition, Kang Lab will provide annual travel funding for graduate students to attend national and international conferences as necessary.
Applications are due by June 7, 2018. To apply, follow the Volgenau School of Engineering’s formal application and admissions process for Information Technology, Ph.D. with Mechanical Engineering concentration (Link). Requirements for International Applicants are described in the link. You must complete the application process by the end of May or earlier and all materials including college, GRE, and TOEFL transcripts should be received by then. You must specify in your personal statement for the Graduate Research Assistant Position with Dr. Pilgyu Kang and include a description of your interests and qualifications for Dr. Pilgyu Kang. Applicants with M.S. degrees are required. Before applying, interested students are strongly encouraged to send me (pkang7@gmu.edu) an email (and a follow up email), which contains a C.V. detailing your background, any publications and research interests.
