Additional details: Living systems are constantly changing and adapting to the environmental cues. We seek to understand the underlying mechanisms governing the dynamic and heterogeneous behavior of living systems at the cellular level. This project aims to leverage the power of optical microscopy and metasurfaces to extract functional information about living systems in a label-free manner.
Required qualifications:
Ph.D. in a relevant field | e.g., Physics, Optics, Photonics, Engineering.
Ph.D. candidates about to graduate are welcome to apply.
Exhibits excellent professionalism+work ethics, independence, initiative and self-motivation.
Strong ability to problem-solve and think critically.
Possesses good written and oral communication skills.
Ability to thrive in a collaborative, cross-disciplinary, fast-paced working environment.
Experiences and/or knowledge in one or more of the following will be an advantage:
Optical wave propagation simulations (e.g., FDTD) for meta-optics or metasurface designs
Machine learning and inverse design methodologies
Either experimental or design experience in biosensing and/or nanophotonics
Proficiency in wavefront sensing or imaging with sculpted/structured light
What we offer: Our group is committed to providing a collaborative, supportive, and motivating academic environment with abundant training opportunities for professional growth and room to exercise creativity and innovation in their research work.
Our group is forging new frontiers in optical metrology and imaging through synergistic work performed by different teams in the lab. Our research projects combine and elevates state-of-the-art technologies that include but not limited to optics, microscopy imaging, systems engineering, and biophotonics. Therefore, our lab is conducive for all members of the group to expand their knowledge and skillsets through active collaborations and teamwork. Your successful career development is important to us and we will invest in the development of your leadership skills, mentorship skills, and scientific writing/presentation (e.g., publications and training grants) skills.
The initial appointment for this position will be for 12 months with option to extend based on performance and mutual interests. We offer competitive salary commensurate with experience. Interested candidates should email the PI with the following documents.
(1) CV. Please include your contact information, education, list of publications, and relevant experiences.
(2) Cover Letter summarizing your training/background, technical proficiency, research interests, and date of your availability.
Students will have abundant opportunities to develop proficiency in the following:
The science of light | By understanding the nature of light, you will be able to design new and improved ways of using light to obtain information of interest about a material (could be inanimate materials or living biological systems) that it has interacted with.
Optical engineering and biophotonics | Students will learn (i) practical skills for designing optical systems for generating light with tailored properties, (ii) hands-on skills in the building and testing of their designed optical devices in the lab, and (iii) ways to apply their optical devices to study biosystems.
Imaging science | Students will develop novel and improved methods (e.g., lower noise, better resolution, greater field of view) of generating images that provide both structural and functional information of objects.
Programming skills | Programing skills are indispensable for automating the control of devices, designing/optimizing optical systems, simulating light propagation, processing data to extract relevant information, making graphs to visualize data, perform statistical calculations etc. These research activities are often done with software such as Zemax, Python, Matlab, 3D cad modeling software etc.
