A studentship opportunity is available at COHMAS within the framework of a research project related to future flexible electronics. These are usually made of a transparent electrode (ITO) deposited on a polymer substrate. Such design results in loss of integrity when cracks develop in the thin brittle electrode. This projects intends to characterize mechanical properties of new solution for which the electrode and the substrate are merged together into a single active layer. The project will cover fatigue dependent properties as well a piezoresistive effects. Prospective candidate students will be exposed to a truly multidisciplinary work, involving topics in materials science and solid mechanics; in addition, he/she will participate in scientific outreach activities.
This subject can be followed by a PhD offer depending on the outcomes of the internship.
Application Requirements
Application requirements are as below:
1. Detailed CV
2. Slides from a recent presentation and report from a recent project achieved by the student.
3. Complete transcript with all grades for undergraduate and graduate studies.
Interested applicants should send their complete application packets to:
