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.
