Living in the world with overflowing information, a traditional concept of Ph.D., "I am the expert on this little area," might not hold true anymore. Although it might not be like the old days when a philosopher was a doctor, lawyer, politician, mathematician, and physicist at the same time, we might be standing at a turning point of academia requiring us to be able to manage and fuse multiple disciplines and create whole new values that were not possible in narrowly-focused "expert" era. My research philosophy is to continue narrowly-focused pursuit of important scientific challenges, but to create inter-disciplinary engineering solutions, particularly based on micro and nano technology.

Exciting Research Environments and Opportunities in Utah
Despite quiet buzzes, Utah is
indeed in the middle of the Nations' steepest rides in its
Enegineering Program. The USTAR program recently brought
the world's most renowned faculty. We have the largest
MEMS/Microsystems Faculty group in any US Universities.
The >$150M USTAR building, that includes the
state-of-art Nano Fabrication Cleanroom Facility as well as
cell-culture and animal testing laboratories, houses my
research group. I am truly excited about the wonderful
research we can do during the upcoming years! I hope
that you see the sizzling excitements and opportunities in
Utah, too!
My group is always looking for passionate candidates for open RA and postdoc positions. Although I usually try to meet all those great candidates, I typically cannot extend an offer to everyone due to limited funding and time issues.
