Research Opportunity
Please email Dr. Inhee Lee (inhee.lee@pitt.edu) if you are interested in the following positions. If possible, send me your transcripts and CV/resume. This positions are open for any universities, but a researcher should be able to come University of Pittsburgh in person.
High-School Researchers: We will find a good research topic together. Just send me an email.
Undergraduate Researchers: A student will develop a new sensing embedded system using the off-the-shelf components. It includes a sensor, a microcontroller/FPGA, a wireless radio, and an energy harvester. During fall and spring semesters, the student will study previous works, learn basic design skills, and prepare/submit a proposal for SSoE Undergraduate Summer Internship or MCSI Summer Undergraduate Research programs. We plan to publish the complete work in an international journal.
MS Professional-Track Researchers: A student will develop a new sensing embedded system or a low-power energy-efficient integrated circuit. During fall and spring semesters, we will investigate an interesting topics, study previous works, and learn basic design skills. In summer, we develop a new system and plan to publish the complete work in an international conference or journal.
MS Thesis-Track Researchers: A student will develop a low-power energy-efficient integrated circuit or a millimeter-scale sensing system. Please contact me as soon as possible. Do not wait until your 3rd semester! We will investigate an interesting topics, study previous works, and learn basic design skills in your first fall and spring semesters. Starting from summer, we will develop a new circuit or system. Once completed, we will submit a research paper to international conference and journals.
Ph.D. Researchers: Sorry. We do not have an opening now.
Post-Doc Researchers: Sorry. We do not have an opening now.
