Opportunity:
Fellowships are available for doctoral students.
Description:
This GAANN will focus on batteries and energy storage and link nanoscience, nanoengineering and energy production. Students will specialize in understanding the materials structure and device behavior at the nanoscale while applying these concepts to two of our greatest challenges: the generation and storage of energy, as illustrated by MEMS- and NEMS-based motors and miniaturized batteries. Success will derive from understanding the combination of materials and fabrication using characterization, computation, design and device testing.
