For 2027 PhD applicants: We have a 4-year NSF-Industry integrated PhD position in the direction of photonic integrated circuits in collaboration with industry. Interested applicants should directly contact the PI indicating their interest.
Typically, my lab receives Ph.D. applications through the ECE Ph.D. program, in Electrophysics (EP) or Information and Data Science (IDS) track. For fall matriculation, the deadline for application is December 15 of the prior year. Enrolled Ph.D. students have their tuition fully covered by the department, and receive a stipend for research or teaching activities (ECE PhD handbook; BME PhD handbook). Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply to internal and external graduate fellowships (here; p.10 in the ECE PhD handbook).
A unique benefit of attending Boston University is its strategic location – in the heart of a close-knit ecosystem of world-class research institutions and enterprises – offering unparalleled opportunities for academic exchange, networking, and career development, all within the reach of a short ride or walk.
Why pursue a PhD and what to expect from it? (Think before you click)
Because you want to spend some prime time of your life to be creative and explore a technical topic in depth.
For prospective post-docs: For those interested in conducing postdoctoral research with me, please contact me with your CV and publicaiton list. We may schedule a meeting to further discuss your career goals and research proposals.
Additionally, it is highly recommended for post-doc candidates to explore eligible fellowships in advance (for instance, here and here). It is crucial to plan early for these fellowships, as they sometimes have deadlines that precede the completion of one’s Ph.D., and they usually require the candidate to develop a research proposal in collaboration with a prospective advisor.
For master and undergraudate students: We welcome motivated master students and ambitious undergraduates who seek research experience for a future career in research. Please contact me with your CV, including your prior research experience, skills, and publication.
For visiting scholars: We are open to hosting those who are interested in our research. Please contact me directly to discuss options.
