***We are seeking two highly motivated Postdoctoral Researchers to spearhead an initiative at the intersection of computer vision, machine learning, and next-generation device design. This unique role offers the intellectual autonomy of a premier academic environment paired with a compensation package intentionally scaled to match private-sector R&D. If you are interested in joining this mission, please contact Dr. Shi at lucyshi@uic.edu with your CV and a brief statement of interest.***

Group Introduction:

The Advanced Semiconductor Materials and Devices Laboratory at UIC focuses on the design, modeling, fabrication, and characterization of high performance compound semiconductor devices. Our current research involves

1) artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML)-powered design of semiconductor and quantum devices;

2) quantum bits (qubits), basic units of quantum computing and information processing; valleytronics; we are focusing on semiconductor based qubits: both theoretical and experimental;

3) first principles and molecular dynamics simulations of interactions of molecules with transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) nanostructures, and their future device applications in chemical and biological sensing;

4) design, characterization and fabrication of 2D materials based optoelectronic devices;

5) design, fabrication and characterization of GaN based high electron mobility transistors for both power switching and power amplifiers;

6) simulation, design and fabrication of photodetectors based on AlGaAs/GaAs and AlGaN/GaN quantum wells;

7) implantable, wireless drug level monitors (collaboration with neurosurgeons)

***We are constantly looking for highly self-motivated postdocs and students on all levels (PhD, Master, Undergrad) who are interested in semiconductor devices and nanotechnology. Please contact Dr. Shi (lucyshi@uic.edu) for opportunities.***
