Yeongin Kim Research Group in Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Cincinnati seeks for passionate PhD students who will work on a project: Additive manufacturing for electronic textile, wireless/power electronics, and energy devices.
This project is focused on low-cost large-area deposition and additive manufacturing for electronic textile, wireless/power electronics, and energy devices. The project starts from low-cost synthesis of materials, such as ceramic, which has not been studied so far because of high temperature condition and expensive/toxic gas precursors or high vacuum requirements. Possible target applications of deposited devices include low-power electrically-small wireless systems for wearable and implantable devices, textile-based electronics, high-power devices, water splitting devices for hydrogen production, etc.
More information about the group can be found at the website: https://homepages.uc.edu/~kim4yg

The candidates will become one of the first alumni members in the future.

The opening is available until filled. The admission to PhD program for any semester and the adjustment of its start date can be arranged. Applicants should submit a CV to Professor Yeongin Kim (kim4yg@ucmail.uc.edu) to initiate the process.

1) A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials sciences, or related fields. The applicants will be admitted to PhD in Electrical Eng.

2) Minimum of 3.0 grade point average (GPA) on a 4.0 scale in their highest degree earned.

3) Tests scores of TOEFL (Minimum 92), IELTS (Minimum 6.5), Duolingo (Minimum 110) and Pearson (Minimum 54). Waivers will be automatically given when their earned degree is from one of the listed countries where English is the official language, or waivers will be considered if the applicant has fulfilled one of the conditions:

4) ETS GRE General Test score is required with the exception of any student that receives their bachelor's (BS) degree from an ABET accredited university in the United States with a GPA of 3.0+. Although GRE scores are required, the minimum scores are not strictly enforced.

Full funding with tuition, stipends, and benefits will be provided.
