The AMNL is always looking for highly motivated graduate and undergraduate students interested in research opportunities. Preference will be given to students interested in completing a PhD or M.Sc. degree in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering. Required technical skills include two or more of the following:
- Ability to design and prototype electronic circuit boards OR willingness to be trained
- Micro-controller programming and application OR willingness to be trained
- Ability to operate laboratory instrumentation (oscilloscopes, multi-meters, function generators, AFM, laser lithography tool, spectrophotometer) OR willingness to be trained
- AutoCAD 2D and 3D drawing and use of MATLAB
Successful applicants should be "team players", i.e. they are expected to be willing to work with other students, receive training and be willing to commit their time to train and assist fellow lab mates. Ongoing projects in the lab include:
- Cantilever bio-chemical sensors using laser readout technique
- Tactile electromagnetic micro-actuators and positioning system (tactile display)
- Development of optical and mechanical eye tonometry device
Interested candidates should send a curriculum vitae and a statement describing their experience and interests to Prof. Enikov (enikov-at-email.arizona.edu). The statement should explicitly address the specific skills listed above.
