Complex Materials Optics Network (CMON)

We are currently seeking highly motivated students (at both undergraduate and graduate levels) who will join the Complex Materials Optics Network (CMON). If you are an exceptional candidate with an interest in electromagnetics, plasmonics, optics, or photonics, please contact me: ufukkilic@unl.edu

Previous experience in design, fabrication, and characterization of metamaterial platforms is desired. The further experiences on the following areas are plus:

• Fabrication of different nanomaterial systems using glancing angle /atomic layer/sputtering deposition methods, as well as lithography techniques
• Generalized spectroscopic ellipsometry based optical characterization technique
• Computational electromagnetic simulation codes (FDTD, FEM) or software packages (COMSOL, Lumerical, CST).

Several fellowships exist to support your studies with funds provided by different sources. Candidates from Electrical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Physics, or any other related discipline are all welcomed.
