The Advanced Photonic Device Lab focuses on semiconductor materials and (opto)electronic devices. As a “full stack” semiconductor lab, we engage in all aspects of device and material design, growth, fabrication, and characterization. Current research opportunities include ultra-wide bandgap (UWBG) materials characterization and infrared device characterization, covering both detectors and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In both cases students will work closely with a graduate student to guide their research.

Student Responsibilities
Students will work in a lab setting to characterize semiconductor materials and devices. They will be responsible for taking measurements and analyzing data. In addition to measurements, student responsibilities may include designing advanced semiconductor heterostructures or optical nanostructures, characterizing semiconductor materials using various metrological techniques (with a strong focus on optics), fabricating semiconductor devices, and characterizing infrared detectors or emitters.
Time Commitment
10 hour(s)
Student Requirements
Students should have a strong background in physics, chemistry, materials science, or optics. Some programming experience is encouraged, but not required.
