This IRES project focuses on active research participation by undergraduate and/or graduate students of Mechanical and Materials Engineering department and Electrical and Computing department at FIU in high quality international research for 10 weeks during summer at KUT. The FIU and KUT teams have combined expertise of the specified complementary research areas and a synergetic collaboration and exchange between the groups could result in research excellence. The KUT team has rich experience in various plasma chemical vapor deposition, surface characterization and nano-scale device development in general. The specific strength of the FIU group lies in developing unique microstructures and integration of functional materials for device fabrication. The example research topics are listed in the Table below, based on leveraging the resources at FIU and KUT for mutual benefit.
