Open Research Assistant/Associate Positions

[October 2007]

          The Nanoscale and Ultrafast Thermal Sciences and Applications lab (NUTS) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Colorado at Boulder, directed by Professor Ronggui Yang, is recruiting immediately 2-3 Ph.D students and/or post-doc research associates on the following specific areas:
          1). Co-polymer templates for nanofabrication.
          2). Thermal characterization of nanostructures.
         
          The positions need to be filled IMMEDIATELY with a preference to post-doc candidates. The applicants should have demonstrated strong creativity and experiences in one of the above areas through his/her past applications. Full applications including a copy of CV, a 2-page research statement summarizing the candidate’s past research experience, representative work (paper or report), and the contact information of three references should be sent directly to Professor Ronggui Yang (Ronggui.Yang@Colorado.Edu).

          In addition, we are expecting to recruit 2-3 post-doc research associates and/or Ph.D students annually in these general research areas:
          1). Advances in modeling, simulation, and characterization of thermal and electrical transport in micro/nano-structures and devices.  
          4). Applications of nanoscale and ultrafast thermal sciences to advance thermal management, energy conversion, high precision controlled micro/nanofabrication, and biomedical technologies.
         
          High-motivated post-doctors and students with solid scientific strength in one of the following areas or their combinations are invited to apply: Mechanical Engineering (Thermal/Fluids), Applied Physics, Physical Chemistry, Material Science and Engineering, MEMS/NEMS and Nanoelectronic Devices, Optics, Polymer Science and Bio-Engineering. Applications for Ph.D program should apply through official channels. While general inquiries for Ph.D admission and financial support are not encouraged, candidates with strong backgrounds in the above areas (typically demonstrated in previous publications) are invited to send a copy of CV, a 2-page research statement summarizing the candidate’s past research experience and his/her vision of the collaborative research in NUTS, representative work (paper or report), and the contact information of three references to Professor Ronggui Yang (Ronggui.Yang@Colorado.Edu). Only those who send all the above requested information will be reviewed.
         
NUTS Lab:
          Sitting in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, NUTS directed by Professor Ronggui Yang is an interdisciplinary center that merges mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, material science, chemistry, and physics, with a strong objective 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. NUTS is affiliated with the NSFExtremeUltravioletEngineeringResearchCenter (NSF EUV ERC), the DARPAFocusCenter for Micro/Nano Integrated Transducers (DARPA iMINT Center), the Colorado Nanotechnology Initiative, and the Colorado Energy Initiative. The research and the training of post-doc research associates and students in NUTS emphasize theoretical understanding, experimental characterization and implementation, and applications. Research team members (current members) have great opportunities working together with world-leading physicists, chemists, and frontiers in nanosciences and nanotechnologies (Collaborators).

          The ongoing research projects are supported by DoD-AFOSR, DARPA, NSF, and the University of Colorado.

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 February 2006. Prior to MIT, he had a master’s degree in MEMS from UCLA in 2001, a master’s degree in Engineering Thermophysics from TsinghuaUniversity 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 (MIT News), the winner of the 2005 Goldsmid Award for Research Excellence in Thermoelectrics from the International Thermoelectric Society (ITS News), and a recipient of the NASA Tech Brief Award for a Technical Innovation in 2004. Since January 2006, Ronggui Yang, serves as a PI or co-PI of two NSF projects on developing modeling and characterization tools for nanoscale thermal transport, a $6M AFOSR/MURI project on Energy Harvesting and Storage Materials and Systems, and a $4M DARPA project on thermal management, and a faculty researcher for the NSF EUV ERC, and the DARPA iMINT Center.
