I currently have openings in my research group for a research assistant and master’s students (with financial support) in the field of computational photonics/ biophotonics. If you are interested in any of the current projects in the field, you are always welcome to inquire about possible research opportunities. Each project covers a wide spectrum of science and technology; therefore, your level of interest is crucial in determining how much you can contribute, especially if you have a background in physics, computer science, and mathematics. The research projects will allow you to develop skills in computational modeling and optimization, as well as practical ability, initiative, and teamwork. In general, most of the projects involve developing numerical methods to solve a 3D fully coupled differential equation system for nano-sized structures.

If you are interested in getting involved in a master’s program in the field of computational photonics, it is recommended to apply for the thesis-based master’s program in the computational stream. The required courses in the computational stream are as follows:

• MATH 6100: Thesis in Mathematics (12.0 credits)
• MATH 5236: Advanced Numerical Methods (3.0 credits)
• MATH 5246: Optimization (3.0 credits)
• MATH 6206: Seminar in Mathematics I (3.0 credits)
• MATH 6207: Seminar in Mathematics II (3.0 credits)

Please contact me for further information and discussion.
