Job Description
Job Description Summary
The overall goal of the research group is to investigate novel integrated optical and photonic devices primarily for digital information processing. These devices will be linked into photonic circuits to form the basis for optical computing applications. Specifically projects in the lab include 1 developing new integrated optical device designs via highpowered physics simulations 2 investigating how to combine discrete devices into largerscale logic circuits using standard micro and nanoelectronics fabrication techniques and 3 characterizing fabricated circuit behavior with benchtop equipment including lasers and fiber optics. These projects will allow students to learn about optics and photonics while applying computer architecture and digital logic principles to novel systems. Broad areas that this research explores include electromagnetic physics materials science and electrical engineering. Additionally devices that are useful for optical computing can often be repurposed for biosensing and chemical sensing applications. As the research group grows students will be able to explore applying new photonic devices to important sensing applications.
Responsibilities
Responsibilities include: Setting up and running simulations. Analyzing the results of the simulations to refine simulation designs. Testing fabricated optical devices using standard optical characterization equipment. Analyzing experimental data and iterating on experiments based on the results. Maintaining a single piece of commonuse lab equipment. Weekly 1on1 meetings with Dr. Harrison to discuss the state of your project and next steps. Participating in weekly lab group meetings to discuss relevant scientific topics including occasional presentations.
Required Qualifications
Current Chapman undergraduate student. Able and willing to commit 510 hours per week during the semester. Able to manage tasks and work independently. Organized responsible and able to keep deadlines. Curious and willing to learn more about the field of optics and photonics. Interested in learning more about the process of scientific research.
