Prof. Chao Wang’s lab at Arizona State University (https://nanobio.engineering.asu.edu) has an opening for a Ph.D. student in fall 2019.

Prof. Wang's group has a broad multidisciplinary portfolio, and has published high-impact journals such as Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Communications, Nano Letters, ACS Nano, etc. Currently, the group focuses on the following research areas: (a) nanomanufacturing, with emphasis on nanoimprint lithography, additive manufacturing, and DNA assembly; (b) on-chip integrated nanophotonics and quantum optics, (c) biomolecule sensing and liquid biopsy for future non-invasive disease diagnostics.

Wang's group works closely with biochemists, biomedical engineers, electrical engineers, material scientists, and clinicians. Currently the group has five Ph.D. students and one postdoc researcher. The active research topics are:
(1) nanophotonic metasurface structure and system design for on-chip polarimetric imaging
(2) 3D sterolithography for printing functional metallic and polymer structures
(3) plasmonic nanostructure design and sensing of biomolecules, including small-molecule drugs, microRNA, protein, and exosomes
(4) compact single photon source integrating 2D quantum emitters in nanophotonic cavities
(5) DNA assembly of nanoparticles and quantum emitters
(6) low-noise nanopore for high-speed DNA and protein detection
(7) on-chip liquid biopsy towards cancer and neurodegenerative disease diagnostics

The student is expected to teamwork with our group members as well as our close collaborators. The successful candidates are expected to have a Bachelor’s or a Master’s degree in one of the following programs: electrical engineering, physics, applied physics, biomedical engineering, and optical engineering. The positions are expected in a research assistantship or a fellowship. Please send a CV, a personal statement, and your transcripts to wangch@asu.edu.
