About this position
Elham Heidari, Assistant Professor in ECE and Director of the SNOWMASS Lab at the University of Florida, is inviting applications for multiple Postdoctoral Researcher and Ph.D. Student positions in high-power lasers, photonics, and quantum photonic integrated circuits.
The research focuses on kW-class high-power and directed-energy laser systems, including scalable high-power laser architectures, coherent and spectral beam combining, optical phased arrays, precision beam steering and control, thermal management, high-current electrical drivers, reliability testing, and system-level demonstrations.
Applicants should have strong hands-on cleanroom experience, especially with ICP-RIE and RIE process development for III-V semiconductor materials. Desired skills include high-aspect-ratio plasma etching, sidewall-profile and surface-roughness control, hard-mask development, etch-selectivity optimization, plasma-damage mitigation, passivation, metallization, photolithography, electron-beam lithography, wafer bonding, and complete semiconductor-laser process integration.
Experience with GaAs-, InP-, or GaSb-based devices; coherent or spectral beam combining; adaptive optics; thermal modeling; high-power optical characterization; COMSOL; or Lumerical is highly desirable. U.S. citizenship is required.
Interested candidates should email their CV to el.heidari@ufl.edu. The positions are available immediately. No deadline was stated in the post.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
How to apply
