Postdoctoral Research Scholar at North Carolina State University at Raleigh, Raleigh, NC
The primary purpose of this position is to lead innovative research in photonic accelerators through the design, heterogeneous integration, and characterization of advanced hybrid III-V/silicon photonic integrated circuits. The position supports the development of next-generation optical computing technologies that deliver ultra-wideband performance and energy-efficient computation by combining III-V material capabilities with scalable silicon photonics platforms. The incumbent will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to advance concepts from device design through system demonstration and application validation.

Duties and Responsibilities include:

  • Drive the end-to-end lifecycle of hybrid III-V/silicon photonic integrated circuits (PICs), including definition, architectural design, simulation, layout, and comprehensive characterization.
  • Conduct high-frequency and active device characterization, performing RF testing beyond 50 GHz, standard laser LIV measurements, optical injection locking, Bit Error Rate (BER) testing, and eye-diagram analysis.
  • Guide and mentor a multidisciplinary team of Ph.D., Master’s, and undergraduate student researchers, fostering technical growth and aligning their work with project milestones.
  • Author, review, and present high-impact manuscripts and technical papers for publication in top-tier peer-reviewed journals and international academic conferences.
  • Partner with internal and external multidisciplinary teams to transition novel photonic concepts into validated hardware prototypes and system demonstrations.
