Description of Group/Project:
The Advanced Electronic Materials and Devices Group focuses on the material sciences and technology aspects of novel electronic materials, with a strong emphasis on graphene as well as other 2D materials (MoS2). The group also works towards the development of technological applications based on these materials such as electronics, bioelectronics, biosensing, and neural interfaces.
The activities cut across different scientific aspects, from the fundamentals (the physics of devices and semiconductors) to materials (growth of graphene and 2D materials by CVD and MOCVD, surface functionalization, advanced characterization), through to devices (fabrication technology, nanofabrication) and applications (biosensors, neural implants, biomedical technologies, energy storage, and conversion).
Main Tasks and Responsibilities:
The successful candidate will support the research team in the following topics:
1. CVD and MOCVD growth of 2D materials, particularly graphene and MoS2.
2. Device fabrication based on these materials.
The responsibilities of the candidate will involve the operation of the growth reactors of the team (growth optimization and material production), maintenance of the reactors, and implementation of upgrades (new gas lines, etc.). They may also involve providing support to device fabrication in a cleanroom environment.
As part of the responsibilities, the candidate will contribute to general tasks related to lab organization, operation, and equipment maintenance. The research activity of the candidate will be part of the BrainGraph project (PLEC2022-009232) funded by MCIU/AEI /10.13039/501100011033 and by the European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR.
