Research Assistant Positions Open

            Two open graduate research/teaching assistant positions need to be filled at the newly established Nanoscale and Ultrafast Thermal Sciences and Applications lab (NUTS) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Colorado at Boulder http://www.colorado.edu, directed by Ronggui Yang http://spot.colorado.edu/~yangr/.

            Nanoengineering is a largely virgin territory and presents many challenges with opportunities, in both theory and experiments, for both fundamental and applied research. Sitting in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, NUTS is an interdisciplinary center that merges mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, material science, and physics, to understand fundamentals of energy transport and conversion on the micro/nano and ultrafast scales, and to develop novel applications of nanoscale and ultrafast thermal sciences to advance information, energy conversion, micro/nanofabrication, and biomedical technologies. The research and the training of students in NUTS emphasize theoretical understanding, experimental characterization and implementation, and applications.

            We seek highly motivated Ph.D graduate students and post-doc fellows with the solid scientific strength in one of the following areas or their combinations: Mechanical Engineering (Thermal/Fluids), Applied Physics, Material Science and Engineering, MEMS and Nanoelectronic Devices, Optics, Polymer Science and Bio-Engineering.


            Highly motivated candidates with strong backgrounds are invited to send a copy of CV, representative work (paper or report), and the contact information of three references to Ronggui Yang (Ronggui.Yang@Colorado.Edu)



Short Bio of Ronggui Yang:

            Ronggui Yang is an assistant professor of Mechanical Engineering directing the Nanoscale and Ultrafast Thermal Sciences and Applications Lab (NUTS) at the University of Colorado at Boulder from January 2006. Ronggui Yang received his Ph.D degree focusing on Nanoscale Heat Transfer in Mechanical Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in December 2005. Prior to MIT, he had a master’s degree in MEMS from UCLA in 2001, a master’s degree in Engineering Thermophysics from Tsinghua University in Beijing in 1999, and a Bachelor’s degree in Thermal Engineering from Xi’an Jiaotong University in 1996. His research interests are on nanoscale and ultrafast thermal sciences, and their applications in energy and information technologies and biomedical engineering. He is the winner of the Best Paper Award in Research category of ASME InterPACK 2005, the winner of the 2005 Goldsmid Award for Research Excellence in Thermoelectrics from the International Thermoelectric Society, and a recipient of the NASA Tech Brief Award for a Technical Innovation in 2004. He is an active member of ASME, IEEE, MRS, APS, and Sigma Xi. He serves as a referee for a dozen of prestigious academic journals including Physical Review Letters, Physical Review B, Nano Letters, Applied Physics Letters, ASME Journal of Heat Transfer, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, and IEEE Transactions, and has been invited to serve as a co-Guest Editor for a special issue on “Nanoscale Heat Transfer” in the Journal of Computational and Theoretical Nanoscience and a book proposal reviewer for John Wiley & Sons. He currently holds two pending patents on thermoelectric energy conversion and has published a number of journal and conference papers on nanoscale heat transfer and thermoelectrics.

I forwarded for my friend, Prof. Yang.

He told me that he received about 30 inquiries and (strongly) encouraged 4 to apply and told them how to proceed next.  He also told me that he also received a few with fabricated data including contact info of references.

Open Research Assistant/Associate Positions


                        One post-doc research associate and 3-4 graduate research/teaching assistant positions need to be filled ASAP at the newly established Nanoscale and Ultrafast Thermal Sciences and Applications lab (NUTS) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Colorado at Boulder http://www.colorado.edu, directed by Ronggui Yang http://spot.colorado.edu/~yangr/.

            Nanoengineering is a largely virgin territory and presents many challenges with opportunities, in both theory and experiments, for both fundamental and applied research. Sitting in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, NUTS is an interdisciplinary center that merges mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, material science, and physics, to understand fundamentals of energy transport and conversion in micro/nano and ultrafast scales, and to develop novel applications of nanoscale and ultrafast thermal sciences to advance information, energy conversion, micro/nanofabrication, and biomedical technologies. NUTS is affiliated with the NSF EUV Engineering Research Center, Colorado Nanotechnology Initiative, and the CU-Energy Initiative. The research and the training of students in NUTS emphasize theoretical understanding, experimental characterization and implementation, and applications. Research team members have great opportunities working together with world-leading physicists, chemists, and frontiers in nanosciences and nanotechnologies.   

            With the initial endowment from the university and a recent funding to be effective in May, NUTS currently has a total funding of around one million dollars. We seek highly motivated Ph.D graduate students and post-doc fellows with solid scientific strength in one of the following areas or their combinations: Mechanical Engineering (Thermal/Fluids), Applied Physics, Material Science and Engineering, MEMS and Nanoelectronic Devices, Optics, Polymer Science and Bio-Engineering.

            The break-down of the positions are:

            The post-doc research associate applicant should have very strong hand-on experiences with ultrafast lasers, optics, and LabView. Experience with FTIR and Raman spectroscopy is definitely a plus.

            Two of the Ph.D student positions are for applicants with strong research experiences in semiconductor materials and devices. Applicants with either very strong theoretical / simulation background including First Principle and Monte Carlo simulation for electronic materials or very strong working experience on micro/nano-device fabrication and characterization are encouraged to apply.           

            The third Ph.D student is to work on hard-soft material interfaces and engineering for energy and bio-medical applications. Applicants with strong background on polymer physics, organic semiconductors, or bio-materials are invited to apply. Favorite consideration is given to those who have very strong experience either in simulation or characterization, or the best of both.

Highly motivated candidates with strong backgrounds are invited to send a copy of CV, representative work (paper or report), and the contact information of three references to Ronggui Yang (Ronggui.Yang@Colorado.Edu)
