Undergraduate & Master Students

We welcome Undergraduate and Master students currently at UC Berkeley who are enthusiastic about our research and willing to commit time and effort toward impactful projects. Current openings are at (i) electronic materials deposition and characterization, (ii) device fabrication and electrical measurement, (iii) thermal measurement, (iv) materials modeling and structure-property simulation. 

To apply: If you are interested in joining our group, please email us at asir@berkeley.edu with the subject line Research Interest – [Undergraduate/Master] – [Your Name]. Briefly describe your background, research interests, and why you are interested in our work. Attach your CV (PDF), mention any relevant coursework or experience, and, if possible, refer to one or more of our recent papers or research areas that align with your interests. 

We are always looking for motivated, curious students who are committed to meaningful research; opportunities should be available during the academic year and/or summer. 

Areas of Interest:

Our group focuses on the development of low-power electronic devices by engineering heterogeneous device platforms and transformative materials, with a particular emphasis on controlling charge, heat, and spin transport at their interfaces. We are especially excited to contribute to next-generation AI hardware on both rigid and flexible substrates, and to explore novel interconnects and new thermal strategies for energy-efficient, 3D-integrated electronic systems. We are also interested in leveraging machine learning for accelerated design of experiments, materials discovery, and physics-informed modeling, to enhance our understanding and optimization of materials and devices at multiple scales. These efforts and innovations will complement software and circuit design efforts, driving collaboration and multiplying energy-efficiency gains across computing hardware.
