Post Doctoral Fellow In Mechanical Engineering

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Job Description

Position Overview

KU is seeking a highly motivated Post-doctoral Fellow to work on Magnetometer and Gas sensors.

Many emerging applications in wireless sensors, sensors networks, and Internet of Things (IoT) involve sensing multiple physical, chemical, and environmental parameters. With the increasing demand for these applications, there is a need for measuring many parameters in a sensor system. Recently, several studies have focused on designing and developing multifunctional integrated sensors for multi-parameter monitoring and detecting applications. Combining multifunctional sensors leads to compact systems, simplifies the fabrication process, and reduces the cost, size, and power consumption. Hence, achieving a single-sensor device that can simultaneously multi- parameters without cross-talk sensing functionality is indeed desirable. This type of sensor offers several benefits, including minimized the device size, reduced complexity, improved accuracy, and cost-effective implementation in various Applications.

In this project, we will explore new mechanisms to develop a highly sensitive/selective detection system for gas concentration and magnetic using a single device in microscale range. We believed effectively proposed a deep investigation into coupling the dynamic behavior of micro-resonators with 2D/polymeric material can achieve high performance sensor.

The project will be organized around 2 main activities:
  • Fabricated a 2D material for simultaneous magnetic and gas detection
  • Designing /simulating micro-resonator for 3 -axis magnetic sensors
The Post-doctoral fellow will be actively engaged in student mentoring (directed research, Masters thesis students). He/She will also be in charge of developing further the facilities of the laboratory. He/She will help to build the experimental gas sensors setup. In addition, the expectation of his role is to focus on lab/equipment support and research project operations.
