Research Assistantship
in AC Electrokinetics
Prospective students:
If you are interested in working
with me, please send me email stating how your areas of interest relate
to mine (solid state transducers).
Include a resume with a list of
relevant experiences.
I am primarily interested in working
with Ph.D. students. However, I occasionally accept strong M.S.
students for "thesis option". As for my expectations,
please refer to the “Guidelines” on this page.
I may also provide assistantship on a hourly basis, which is open to both graduate and
undergraduate students. Strong
experimental background is desired.
