Research Abstract

Our research areas include different topics, such as magnetic and electronic thin films and micro-devices for RF and microwave applications, magnetic nanotechnology, magnetic sensors, magnetic semiconductors for spintronics applications, micro- and nano-fabrications.
We will try our best to match the interests of the YSP participants with the different projects in my group.

Research Activities/
Experience

YSP participants will be working in Dana and Egan building at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. This is a friendly environment with ~6 graduate students, ~6 undergraduate students. YSP participants will get unlimited access to discussions with the faculties for research guidance, and well trained on all facilities needed for the research project. We typically pair
each of the YSP participants with one post doctoral scientist and one experienced graduate student for the daily training of all facilities in our labs, data analysis, and technical writing. Typical research experience involves materials preparation, characterization, device fabrication and characterization, data analysis, and technical paper writing. Research results will be submitted to technical journals for publishing.

Helpful skills or interests
Interests in physics, chemistry, and hands-on experiments with materials, device fabrication,characterization, and data analysis.
