There are three PhD studentships (only students who have done masters already should apply) for Material Science, Mechanical Engineer and Electronics Engineer and also one Computer or Electronics Engineer at the School of Mechanical Engineering Cheju National University, South Korea at Advance Micro Mechatronics Lab.
Research Background
Research in the silicon industry is maturated considerably. Now inkjet technology is being utilized for developing cheaper and accurate digital devices. Semiconductor giants like Samsung and Hynix are investing huge money in to the electronic printing system. Our research group is carrying research in printed electronics which will be the preferred manufacturing process for RFIDs, flexible panel systems, displays, and sensors in future.
Research Area for PhD Studentship Material Science Engineer
Studying nano-materials, nano-physics and nano-device applications with respect to electrostatic inkjet printing. Study of the polymer based thin films, substrate property, chemical properties of ink and role of nano particles in electrostatic printing will be of main focus of research. Knowledge of laser technology for printing systems, curing method and emerging technologies in printed electronics will be of added advantage.
Research Area for PhD Studentship Mechanical Engineer
Designing of multi-nozzle inkjet system for printed electronics which will include flow regulators, pumping system and control sensors. In addition to this the students is required to perform numerous experiments for the evaluation of proposed printing method. Strong background in controls and micro-fabrication is necessary.
Research Area for PhD Studentship Electronics Engineer
Control of the multinozzle mechanism and control of the substrate with respect to the printing parameters to print different types of electronic devices through Electrostatic Inkjet Printing System. Knowledge of the programming language and machine interface is necessary.
Research Area for MS Studentship Computer Engineer
Strong knowledge of C++ and MFC programming is required. The person will be working on the integration of the systems and real-time control.
Selection Criteria
The main criteria of selection is GPA (must be above 3.0). Beside GPA research proposal, resume and good communication skill in English (TOEFL or IELTS) will be considered.
Interested candidate please forward their copy of transcript, research proposal and resume at amm[ at ]cheju.ac.kr and khalidrah[ at ]gmail.com mentioning the post in the subject.
