OPTOELECTRONICS RESEARCH

(Position no longer available)

A highly-motivated semiconductor device scientist is needed to join our Optoelectronics Laboratory research team at Georgia State University as a postdoctoral researcher. Candidates should have a solid background in physics, electrical engineering, or materials science, with an emphasis on semiconductor hetero and homo structures. Experience in FTIR measurements on IR devices will be an advantage. Our goal is to develop new concepts that may lead to the foundations for new device technologies.

A range of novel optical and transport phenomena in semiconductor quantum homo and heterostructures are under investigation, with emphasis on the development of improved mid- to FIR (3-300 microns) detectors based on III-V materials. Research carried out at GSU optoelectronics lab includes: i) device design and simulations ii) optical and electrical characterization of the devices iii) iterative optimization based on experimental results.
