Group Openings!

The Picoscale Engineering Group at UF is actively seeking multiple highly motivated graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. Our current interests are in tackling challenging problems in quantum science, semiconductors, and energy applications of societal interest through a combination of advanced electron microscopy and spectroscopy, including atomic electron tomography (AET) and atomic scale quantum mechanical simulations. For more information regarding current and future projects, please refer to the Research and Publications pages. If interested, please email your C.V. and a short description of your research interests to Prof. Kim.
