Welcome

Who we are: a research group led by Prof. Eric Pop in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). We are located in the Micro and Nanotechnology Lab (MNTL) and also affiliated with the Beckman Institute (BI). Our research is at the intersection of nanoelectronics and nanoscale energy conversion. We are currently investigating:

• Energy-efficient transistors, memory and integrated circuits
• Novel nanomaterials like graphene, MoS₂, carbon nanotubes, GeSbTe, and others
• Nanoscale energy transport, conversion and harvesting

Our work includes experiments, characterization, and multiscale simulations. Most nanofabrication is done by us in the MNTL cleanroom. Our on-campus collaborations range from ECE to Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering, and off-campus from Universities of Tokyo and Singapore (NUS), to Bologna and Milano.

To join our team: first learn about our work, then follow one of the links below:

• Undergrads: first see notes on this page; also check out the PURE program
• Grad students: apply for admission and put Prof. Pop as faculty interest
• Post-docs: we currently have a post-doc opening in the general area of nanoscale energy transport measurements, with applications to graphene and nanotube networks. Candidates should have experience with a subset of the following: nanofabrication (including e-beam), electrical / thermal / thermoelectric measurements, Raman / TEM / SEM / AFM metrology.
