We welcome enthusiastic and capable students of all levels (undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral) to join our research group to work on exciting projects in the field of small-scale mechanics. Potential projects include, but are not limited to, in situ electron microscopy nanomechanics of low-dimensional nanomaterials, Scanning Probe (AFM, STM, etc) and Raman (including TERS) microscopy characterzation, polymer nanocomposites, bio-inspired hybrid systems, nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). Students will have hands-on learning experience in nanoscale experimental characterization techniques, and quantitative thinking development in both theoretical modeling and data analysis. Interested persons with science (physics, chemistry and materials) and engineering (mechanical, biomedical, chemical, electrical, materials) backgrounds are encouraged to contact Dr. Ke (cke@binghamton.edu) for further inquiries.

The following openings are currently available:

• No opening of postdoctral reseachers at this moment.
• We have two new PhD positions to work on Mechanics and Manufacturing/characterization of nanomaterials and nanocomposites with starting dates of Fall 2021 or Spring 2022. A stipend, full tuition and health insurance will be provided. Applicants with strong background in mechanics, mechanical, civil, materials engineering or physics are encouraged to apply. Applicants should apply through the Binghamton University Graduate School , while also notifying Dr. Ke (cke@binghamton.edu) of their intention to join our group.
• Summer internship and volunteering research opportunities available for or qualifying undergraduate students during the summer and the school year. Applicants should directly contact Dr. Ke to state their intention of joining our group.
