Research opportunity in Materials Science and Engineering – Mechanical Engineering - Materials Science and Engineering


Our lab works closely with industry to develop materials solutions for advanced microelectronic applications. One project investigates the mechanical properties, such as creep and fatigue properties, of new solder alloys. We are looking for a motivated undergraduate student who can help design and construct fixtures to enable such mechanical testing. The student will work under the guidance of a graduate research assistant and the advisor to carry out the assigned tasks. The student will have the opportunity to learn about the latest technologies in advanced microelectronics materials and be exposed to industry projects. The experience from this project and the industry exposure may open doors for potential internships at top microelectronics companies.
