Postdoctoral Scholar - Digital Fabrication of Sustainable Materials

Job Title: Postdoctoral Scholar (Digital fabrication of Sustainable Materials)

Scope of the Research:

This research program intends to develop design principles, fabrication methods, and instruments to synthesize and pattern sustainable materials derived from biomass. We combine additive manufacturing, microfluidics, and in situ physio-chemical reactions to achieve unprecedented control over the function and structures consisting of biomass-derived materials.

We will adapt interdisciplinary approaches to investigate the digital fabrication of sustainable materials. The recovery and recycling of the materials are also explored. The researcher will work in an interdisciplinary research team consisting of electrical, chemical, and biomedical engineers, chemists, and materials scientists.

Qualification, Skills, and Experiences:

• Ph.D. in chemistry, materials sciences, polymer engineering, and/or related fields
• Experiences in biomass-derived materials
• Experiences in digital fabrication (3D printing, laser cutting, fluid dispensing)
• Experiences in the design and manufacturing of scientific instruments
• Experiences in microfluidics, microfabrication
• Experiences in CAD, 3D drawing, and modeling
• Good track record of scientific publications
• Excellent written and oral communicationskills in English
