Description
This fellowship opportunity supports research at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) focused on heterogeneous integration techniques for advanced microscale inorganic optoelectronic devices. The research aims to develop novel device architectures by mechanically stacking optoelectronic devices grown on dissimilar templates. Applications include:
- Higher performance stacked III-V photovoltaic devices
- Alternative III-V substrates with reduced cost or enhanced properties
- Flexible and biocompatible optoelectronics for wearable and implantable biological devices
- Multi-site, non-destructive brain-computer interface electronics with discrete read/write capabilities
The program seeks applicants interested in microscale optoelectronic device fabrication, micro-transfer printing for stacked devices, optoelectronic assembly in flexible/biocompatible packaging, molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) As/P epitaxial growth, neuroengineering, and materials/device characterization.
