About Our Work

MS and Ph.D. degree positions

We are currently recruiting graduate students for M.S. and Ph.D. positions.

We welcome self-motivated, outstanding candidates wishing to contribute to research in the area of advanced functional materials such as :

• Cancer research: Intracellular biomacromolecules (DNA, RNA, and proteins) delivery nanodevice for biological systems; application in colorectal cancer
• Bio-catalysis: Enzymatic conversion of non-food biomass in food products. Energy and the Environment
• Catalysts for Biofuels Synthesis: Metal, and metal-oxide nanocatalysts on porous materials support for catalytic conversion of non-food biomass to fuels;
• Sensors: Porous materials for environmental applications (sensing of water contaminants and carbon capture).
• Sustainable/Bio-renewable resources utilization.
• Other Advanced Materials Research Area:
  • Materials Chemistry
  • Electronic, Optical, and Magnetic Materials
  • Advanced Manufacturing
  • Naturally-Occurring Polymers
  • 3D Printing – In-Situ Resource Utilization (NASA)
