Our research focuses on the investigation and development of micro- to nano-structured materials and devices using methods from microfluidics, soft lithography, self-assembly, and photonics, for applications including biochemical sensing and diagnostics, water and energy sustainability.

Open Positions at the Tang Lab at the Mechanical Engineering Department at Stanford University. Positions are available starting September 2011.

We are seeking highly motivated students, at both undergraduate and graduate levels, in the areas of microfluidics, optofluidics, sensor devices, biomimetics, micro- to nano-structured materials. Our research is multidisciplinary, and require students having strong experimental or theoretical skills in one of the following areas: microfluidics, optics, soft matter, biophysics, applied physics, and micro/nano fabrication. Students with backgrounds in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, applied physics and materials science are strongly encouraged to apply to the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford. Please email Sindy your full CV indicating your background, research interests, and publications.
