Research Fellowship in Smart Sensor Systems |
|
|
Graduate Research Fellowships are currently available in the Electrical
and Computer Engineering Department at Marquette University. These
positions are associated with the NSF project on "Acoustic waves in
thin piezoelectric plates: theory and applications" and funded
through a Department of Education Graduate Assistance in Areas of
National Need (GAANN) on Smart Sensor Systems. The goal of this
research is to carry out detailed theoretical and experimental
investigation of acoustic waves propagating in thin piezoelectric
plates.
The main tasks to be undertaken during the course of this project
include:
1. Theoretical and experimental investigation of plate wave propagation
in a number of useful materials such as quartz, lithium niobate,
potassium niobate, langasite, etc.
2. Theoretical and experimental investigation of the influence of a
thin film of arbitrary conductivity deposited on the surface of a plate
wave device.
3. Development of fabrication techniques for integration of plate
acoustic wave devices with silicon substrates.
4. Development of a smart system for identifying liquids based on their
mechanical and electrical properties as acquired through plate acoustic
wave devices using signal processing and machine learning techniques.
This project is associated with the Solid State Laboratory and the
Knowledge and Information Discovery Laboratory in the Department of
Electrical and Computer Engineering at Marquette, located in Milwaukee,
WI, USA (http://www.milwaukee.org). Marquette University is a
well-known graduate and undergraduate institution with over 11,000
students and a long history of academic excellence. Interested
individuals should send a letter of interest to Dr. Shrinivas G. Joshi
at Shri.Joshi@Marquette.edu and/or Dr. Richard J. Povinelli at
Richard.Povinelli@Marquette.edu, as well as applying to the Marquette
Graduate School at http://www.grad.mu.edu.
Compensation includes tuition reimbursement as well as a yearly stipend
up to $28,000. GAANN Fellows are required to be either U.S. citizens,
nationals, or permanent residents and be accepted into the
department's PhD program. Ideally, applicants will have had previous
exposure to one or more of the following areas: acoustics, solid state
devices, electromagnetic fields, signal processing, machine learning,
and statistical pattern recognition.
