New paper published in Nanophotonics!
Congratulations to Nusrat, Henry, Shensheng, and Kevin on the review paper, “Optical force microscopy: combining light with atomic force microscopy for nanomaterial identification” now published in Nanophotonics!
Welcome new students!
The BioNanophotonics Lab welcomes new graduate students, Henry and Nusrat!
We are hiring!
Prospective lab members should email a CV that summarizes their research skills and interests to Prof. Yang Zhao
Postdoctoral Fellows:
We currently have one position opening for postdocs. Candidates in the fields of optics, nanophotonics, biophysics, and atomic force microscopy are preferred.
Graduate Students:
We are actively looking for exceptionally qualified graduate students with a background in Electrical Engineering, Bioengineering/Biology, Materials Science, and Physics/Applied Physics to join our lab.
Undergraduate Students:
We welcome UIUC undergraduates who are interested in gaining research experience in the areas of biophotonic devices, microscopy, nano-optics and nanophotonics. Please note that we generally discourage short term projects (single semester) since there is a significant amount of training required prior to participating in one of our research programs. Students, who are interested in long-term (two semesters or longer) intensive research projects, are highly encouraged to contact Prof. Zhao.
