Adam Printz

The Printz Research Group at the University of Arizona is actively recruiting PhD students to join their team in advancing the fundamental understanding and scalable processing of thin-film electronics. The group focuses on the thermomechanical and chemical stability of next-generation energy and electronic materials, combining expertise in materials science, chemistry, mechanics, and device engineering. Research topics include unconventional fabrication techniques, additive chemistry, microstructure, and the impact of residual stress on thin-film reliability and device performance. Ideal candidates will have backgrounds in chemical engineering, materials science and engineering, chemistry, physics, or mechanical engineering. The group is particularly interested in students who are passionate about pushing the boundaries of printable and reliable electronics. The research environment offers opportunities to explore how stress, strain, and processing affect the performance and stability of advanced materials. Funding opportunities are currently best suited for U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Interested applicants are encouraged to reach out directly to Professor Adam Printz or apply through the University of Arizona’s Chemical & Environmental Engineering PhD program.
