"3D printing for heterogeneous integration and 3D integrated electronics/optoelectronics"
Yeongin Kim Research Group (https://homepages.uc.edu/~kim4yg/) in Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at University of Cincinnati seeks for passionate PhD students.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Project overview
The planar processing of integrated circuits on silicon wafers have enabled the widespread use of computers and mobile devices and dramatically changed our daily life. Still, sensors, actuators, and displays that connect physical space to cyber space have a lot of potential for disruptive improvement.
This project is focused on 3D printing (additive manufacturing) for heterogeneous integration and 3D integrated electronics/optoelectronics. The project starts from low-cost synthesis of materials, such as ceramic, which has not been studied so far because of difficulty in printing it. Possible target applications of printed devices include low-power electrically-small wireless systems for wearable and implantable devices, cost-effective infrared sources/sensors for light detection and ranging (LIDAR), integrated optoelectronics systems for biomedical applications, textile-based electronics, etc.
The PhD students will work on a practical engineering project based on scientific principles so that the result could be published on high-impact journals and as highly-commercializable patents.

2. Requirements
1) A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials sciences, or related fields. The applicants will be admitted to PhD in Electrical Engineering program.
2) Minimum of 3.0 grade point average (GPA) on a 4.0 scale in their highest degree earned.
3) Tests scores of TOEFL (Minimum 92), IELTS (Minimum 6.5), Duolingo (Minimum 110) and Pearson (Minimum 54). Waivers will be automatically given when their earned degree is from one of the listed countries where English is the official language, or waivers will be considered if the applicant has fulfilled one of the conditions (Waiver information).
4) ETS GRE General Test score is required with the exception of any student that receives their bachelor's (BS) degree from an ABET accredited university in the United States with a GPA of 3.0+. Minimum GRE scores are not strictly enforced.

3. University of Cincinnati
Founded in 1819, University of Cincinnati is an urban and public university in the state of Ohio. University of Cincinnati was ranked No. 53 in the NSF's 2020 US total R&D expenditure ranking. Home to a diverse student body of nearly 47,000 and more than 4,200 distinguished faculty, the university combines its Research 1 (Very High Research Activity) Carnegie Classification with a physical campus that The New York Times recently acclaimed as "the most ambitious campus-design program in the country".
