1. Postdoctoral Associate (no opening at this time)
Dr. Yoon may consider exceptional postdoctoral researchers having a solid research background in combinations of:
- Synthesis of nanomaterials/perovskites.
- Nanofabrication.
- Nanoscale measurements (e.g., electron microscopy, optoelectronics/surface characterizations).
- Numerical analysis.
Applications of our research projects include energy harvesting devices and integrated wearables (flexible sensors, wireless communications). The candidates intend to initiate grant proposals even before starting the position for continuing financial support.
2. PhD Students
We are always looking for talented PhD applicants. Successful candidates hold an MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Material Science, Physics, or related field. Must be a team player who can fully dedicate to research projects. Good knowledge of below areas is a plus.
- Nanofabrication.
- Scanning Electron Microscopy.
- Programming (e.g., MATLAB, LabView, Python/C, SolidWorks, COMSOL, Lumerical, etc.)
Full financial support is available for qualified students. We consider outstanding BS applicants having external fellowships and scholarships.
If you are interested in my group, please email me with (1) a resume and (2) a brief description of why you want to join my group. Generic email inquiries will not be answered.
All graduate applications should be submitted here. For more information, please see https://www.ece.utah.edu/grad-admissions/.
3. MS (or MS/BS) Students
Research projects are available for EE-track students under “Project-Option (6 research credit hours)” or “Thesis-Option (10 research credit hours)“. In general, students begin the position as a volunteer (i.e., self-funded position). For outstanding students, financial support may be possible after a trial period.
Good knowledge of nanofabrication, electron microscopy, and/or software (e.g., MATLAB, LabView, Python/C, SolidWorks, COMSOL, Lumerical, etc.) is a plus.

4. Undergraduate Students
We welcome highly motivated undergrad students. Students work with us as a volunteer, research credits (e.g., ECE 3970), and Senior Projects. For some students, financial support can be available via ACCESS, UROP, REU, and/or scholarship/fellowship.
- Freshman/sophomore year: meet faculty, volunteer research work (e.g., 5-10 hours a week)
- Junior year: Take ECE 3970 research credit (2 to 3 credits/semester) + financial support via UROP
- Senior year: Senior Project (4 credits, 3 credits) + financial support via UROP/fellowship
It will be a plus if you are familiar with the software (e.g., MATLAB, LabView, Python/C, SolidWorks, COMSOL, Lumerical, etc.).
If you are interested in my group, please email me with (1) a resume and (2) a brief description of your research interest.
