2 years, temporary contractLocation.
Center for Materials Interfaces, Pontedera (PI)WHO WE AREAt IIT we work enthusiastically to develop Science and Technology to tackle some of the most pressing challenges of our times and transfer these technologies to the production system and society.
Our Genoa headquarter is strictly inter-connected with our 11 centers around Italy and two outer-stations based in the US for a truly interdisciplinary experience.
OUR TEAM You will be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where expert material scientists, chemists, physicists, and mechanical and biomedical engineers collaborate, each with their own expertise, to carry out common research.
The research team, within the Center for Materials Sciences, is led by Dr.
Virgilio Mattoli, who has extensive experience inmicro/nanofabrication, two-photon lithography, conformable electronics and sensors.
The research focuses on the development of a novel, multi-parameter optical system which can enable the 3D printing of micro/nanostructures via two-photon polymerization processes and the dynamic tuning of the properties of the printed materials.
This also includes the possible characterization of the MEMS and microarchitectures fabricated by the partners of the project.
ithin the team, your main responsibilities will be.
he design, assembly, and testing of the optical systemOptimization of the optical system to answer the possible fabrication and materials needsThis open position/research is financed by the European Commission within the H program FET Open project "Functional %26amp; Dynamic 3D Nano- MicroDevices by Direct Multi-Photon Lithography' (5DNanoPrinting) - Grant Number .
The project brings together a consortium of academic institutions and industrial partners to define a new paradigm in the fabrication of MEMS and functional microstructures through 3D printing via direct laser writing.
