North Carolina State University: Scholarship Materials Science and Engineering

Materials Science and Engineering
NC State Univ.

Graduate student positions in experimental materials science are
available in the group of Prof. Melechko starting Spring 2009 and Fall
2009.

Possible research projects include:
1) synthesis of vertically aligned carbon nanofibers and their integration
in microfabricated devices
2)
application of carbon nanofibers in interfacing live cells in tissue,
i.e. gene delivery, intracellular probes, multielectrode arrays
3) alloy nanoparticle formation and behavior on surfaces
Graduate
students will be utilizing electron microscopy and spectroscopy, plasma
enhanced chemical vapor deposition, photolithography, thin film
deposition and other microfabrication tools. The applicant should have
a strong interest in a general area of experimental nanotechnology and
satisfy admission requirements for Materials Science and Engineering
Department, North Carolina State University. The successful applicant
will be offered a yearly stipend, full tuition coverage, and health
benefits.
