Yoon Research Group focuses on experiments in the labs and in-person interactions. We invite applicants who understand the nature of experimental research projects.
The University of Utah is requiring COVID-19 vaccination (https://coronavirus.utah.edu/).
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 seeking talented PhD applicants to join our team. Successful candidates hold an MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Material Science, Physics, or related field. Idea candicates must be team players with a strong commitment to research projects. Good knowledge in the following area 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. 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/CE students (including MSE, ME, other engineering, physics, etc) 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 semiconductor materials and devices is required. Some understanding of nanofabrication, electron microscopy, and/or software (e.g., MATLAB, LabView, Python/C, SolidWorks, COMSOL, Lumerical, etc.) is a plus.
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.

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 (1 to 2 credits/semester), Senior Project (3 credits) and/or financial support via UROP
- Senior year: Senior Project (3~4 credits) and/or 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.
