Uppsala University hereby declares the following position to be open for application:
PhD position in Graphene-Based Flexible Electronics in the subject Engineering Science with specialization in Electronics, at the ngstrm Laboratory, Department of Engineering Sciences, Division of Solid State Electronics. Starting date as soon as possible.
Flexible electronics represents a new class of emerging technology for the applications of large-area electronic products which can be attached over arbitrarily curved surfaces. Graphene, a one–atom thick layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal array, is the thinnest material ever studied. It is not only one of the hottest research topics in the world today, but has also received the highest recognition with the Nobel Prize in Physics 2010.
It is among the most promising candidate materials for a variety of flexible electronic applications due to its unique electrical, mechanical and optical properties. The main purpose of the current position is to explore fundamentals and component technology based on graphene towards flexible electronic devices.
Flexible electronics is one of key research areas at the division of Solid State Electronics. The main research focus of the current position will be on the technology development of graphene manipulation and integration for flexible electronic components, and fundamental studies of the resultant graphene-based devices. The applications of interest include flexible transparent conductor, optoelectronic device, transistor and magnetoresistor.
