2019 12 eMicroscopy Class
This year, the advanced Electron-Beam Microscopy class (ECE 6960-006) was extended to senior undergrad students (ECE 5960-007). The final project includes a poster presentation of individual students’ projects. The interdisciplinary course provides fundamental knowledge about the (scanning) electron microscopy and the practical lab sessions at Utah’s Nanofab. The best SEM image selected by the guests is “3D microstructured pillar array” taken by Dinorah Segovia (bottom left). Students, thank you for presenting your beautiful work.

2019 11 New Journal Paper: Accepted
A manuscript worked with NIST collaborators is accepted at ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.
2019 11 Selected for New Grants
Dr. Yoon’s two grant proposals were selected for the DOE fundings (Small Innovative Projects in Solar, Department of Energy) . We are excited about this opportunity to make solar more affordable and accessible through our research work.
2019 08 Welcome Kaden!
Kaden Powell joins the group. We sincerely welcome our new team member!
2019 08 Open Positions (PhD students; posted on 8/9/2019)
We are seeking for talented PhD students (full financial supports are available) for the areas below.
1. 3D microstructured optoelectronic devices: fabrication & optical and electrical measurements
2. Flexible optoelectronic sensors: design, fabrication, and characterizations
Successful candidates would have a MS degree in engineering or related field (e.g., physics, chemistry) and are a team player. We encourage applicants, who can fully dedicate to their projects.
Please send an email to Dr. Yoon (heayoung.yoon@utah.edu) including three PDF files: resume, phone/email information of two references, and research statement. The statement should describe (i) why you want to join our group, and (ii) how you can contribute to our group.
2019 08 Microscopy and Microanalysis Conference
