Graduate Positions
Graduate student (Ph.D or Masters) Research Position - Prof. Nate Quitoriano
Project Description: CVD Growth of Semiconductor this films for solar cell and optical applications.
The goal of this project is to grow high-quality Ge films directly on Si, using a novel lateral-growth technique. The student will characterize the material using TEM, XRD, and SEM and fabricate and test solar cells made from this material. The goal is to be able to use this as a starting substrate for high-efficiency solar cells.
Desired background:
The student should have taken classes related to electronic properties of materials and semiconductors. A background in Materials Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Solid-State Physics are preferred and some lab/research experience is helpful, though not required.
Applying: Interested applicants should submit their CV to nathaniel [dot] quitoriano [at] mcgill [dot] ca (Prof. Nate Quitoriano)
Graduate student (Ph.D or Masters) Research Position - Prof. Nate Quitoriano
Project Description: Design and Fabrication of multi-semiconductor-nanowire-based laser.
This project will involve first designing, using modeling techniques, and then fabricate a laser which uses many thousands of nanowires as the active material. After fabrication, the student will optically test the optical characteristics of the device. This laser will be designed on Si and has applications for optical interconnects on chip as well as telecommunication.
Desired background:
The student should have taken classes related to electronic properties of materials and semiconductors. A background in Electrical Engineering, Solid-State Physics, or Materials Engineering are preferred as well as some exposure to computer programming or computer simulation. Some lab/research experience is helpful, though not required.
Applying: Interested applicants should submit their CV to nathaniel [dot] quitoriano [at] mcgill [dot] ca (Prof. Nate Quitoriano)
