Recruitment Position Setting

The School of Modern Engineering and Applied Sciences of Nanjing University plans to recruit Assistand Professor. The research directions include:

1. Functional oxide films and devices

Focus on the novel physical properties of new functional oxide thin film materials and their potential device applications, develop atomic-scale precisely controllable oxide epitaxial thin film growth, exfoliation and precise transfer technology, prepare high-quality oxide artificial microstructures, study the regulation of their physical properties and associated quantum states by factors such as strain (gradient), dimension and interface, and reveal new laws for their physical state regulation, and devote ourselves to the research of low-power, high-density information storage and sensing device applications.

2. Advanced optoelectronic technologies based on micro-nano structures

In response to major national needs in the field of optoelectronic information, we explore new effects, new principles, and new processes for light field control and photon (photoelectronic) integration based on micro-nano optical structures, develop new integrated optoelectronic devices and technologies, and apply them to communications and computing, imaging and display, sensing and detection, and other fields.

3. Efficient energy storage materials and technologies

Aiming at the bottlenecks of energy storage technology in terms of energy density, life, safety, etc., we take the design and creation of key electrode catalysts and conversion materials as the starting point, and are committed to breakthroughs in new principles, new processes and new devices for new high-energy storage technologies. We research and develop new energy materials for high-energy power batteries, large-scale storage, hydrogen energy storage, etc., and develop related application technologies.
