Admitted graduate students in Chemical Engineering:
The Choi lab has openings for Ph.D. students interested in working on electrochemistry of soft materials. Projects involve working on material design and characterizations, electrochemical analysis and modeling, microfabrication, and device engineering. Prior experience in electrochemistry, electronics, soft materials, microfabrication, synchrotron experiments, and/or device physics is not required but would be helpful. 
Ph.D. students with satisfactory progress will be fully-funded (covering stipend, tuition waiver, and health insurance). If interested, please send CV and research interests to [email protected].

Potential graduate students:
Interested students should apply to the
 PhD program in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Florida. We follow the advisor matching process of our Department. Please visit our department website and contact the ChE academic advisor if you may have questions. 
​
We also welcome visiting students and scholars.
