Job Title: Research Support Technician

Research area or group: Advanced Electronic Materials and Devices Group

Description of Group/Project:

Advanced Electronic Materials and Devices Group focuses on the development of technological applications based on graphene and other 2D materials (MoS2). The activities cut across different scientific aspects, from the fundamentals (the physics of devices and semiconductors) to materials (growth of graphene and 2D materials by CVD and MOCVD, surface functionalisation, advanced characterisation), through to devices (fabrication technology, nanofabrication) and applications, with a strong emphasis on bioelectronics for neural interfacing.

Main Tasks and responsibilities:

The research activity of the candidate will be part of the TRIBIONICS project. 

The candidate will be involved in activities related to the design, fabrication, and assessment of an automatized system for TENGs characterization (tribometer).

• The development of the tribometer include the following tasks:
• Design automated load selection synchronized with mechanical stimulus.
• Design current and voltage sensing for power generation characterization.
• Model time response of power generation under different mechanical stimulus.

The candidate will be working in a very multidisciplinary project that covers topics such as materials science for energy harvesting and thin film technologies for neural interfaces development.
