Dr. SarithBhaduriResearch Field: BiomaterialsHe has opening for MS and PhD level students in processing of bio-compatible ceramic materials. Nature of research is synthesis and characterization of materials.For availability you may contact him with 419-530-8223
Material Joining Laboratory Dr. Hongyan Zhang • Active Research Project • High Performing Friction–Stir Riveted Joints (Openings 1 MS, 1 PhD):
Nanotechnology and MEMS Laboratory Current Research Projects: 1. Graphene based multiplexed Sensors: Investigation of carbon nanotube and graphene and other single layer materials for sensor applications. 2. Laser Processing of Thin Films: Investigation of the fundamental phenomena of laser irradiation on metal oxide-based thin films relevant to sensor performance • PhD/MS students will be considered. Contact: Dr. A. H. Jayatissa, Jay Room #: 4049 NI • Tel: 419-530-8245 • E-mail: ajayati@utnet.utoledo.edu All projects involve Experimental activities and Modeling/Simulations. Current students: 6 PhD and 3 MS, 2 undergraduates
Environmentally Conscious Design and Manufacturing Laboratory • Dr. Matthew Franchetti (419-530-8051 or NI 4006) • Active Research Projects (2 openings): • The Business Waste Reduction Assistance Program sponsored by Lucas County • The UT Pollution Prevention Program sponsored by the EPA • The projects involve assisting manufacturers and businesses in measuring and reducing waste, pollution, energy usage, and environmental impacts.
Dr. Yong Gan Nanomanufacturing thermoelectric energy conversion materials • The objective of the project is to make nanoscale Bi–Te nanostructures with thermoelectric properties on various substrate.
Biophotofuel cell anode materials research • The objective of the project is to make a photoactive anode containing highly ordered nanotube array and to study the effect of electrolyte concentration and voltage on the size distribution of the nanotubes. The photo-catalytic behavior and biomass decomposition under ultraviolet (UV) radiation to generates electricity and hydrogen will be studied. • One Ph.D. student is needed if funding is available.
