Open Postdoc Position (early 2024)

We have a current post-doctoral position open for a funded research project involving printable sensors. Specifically, the project’s goal is to optimize a capacitive/triboelectric pressure sensor for high temporal resolution measurements. The project has both computational and experimental components, and as such, the researcher should have experience in both. In addition to their research background, …

IEEE Sensors Letters Paper on Capacitive Sensors

Congratulations to LPES Postdoc Neda KaramiMohammadi on publishing her most recent work on sensor design in IEEE Sensors Letters. Neda will present the paper at the IEEE Flexible, Printable Sensors and Systems (FLEPs) conference in Boston this July. The paper can be found here. The research work was supported by the U.S. Office of Naval …

Vanessa Barton awarded NSF Graduate Research Fellowship

Congrats to Vanessa on being awarded the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship!

Nano Letters Paper on Solution-Processed Silicon Carbide Electronics Published

Our lab has recently published a paper in the journal Nano Letters that presents diodes fabricated using Silicon Carbide nanowire inks. Specifically, we focus on the resilience of various device parameters in harsh environments. There is a general opinion that printed electronics cannot be compatible with either high-temperature or high-radiation applications. While this is true for …

Graduating Students!

Aaresha Biswas and Muhammadeziz Tuxuniyazi have successfully completed their degrees! Aatresha defended her master’s thesis titled “Inkjet Printed Soil Sensors for Nitrate Leaching Quantification”. Muhammadeziz defended his Ph.D. dissertation titled “Printed nanomaterial-based sensors: from biosensing to temperature sensing applications”. Aatresha will move on to a position at Intel as a process engineer and Muhammadeziz will …
