Hai Liu

PhD positions are open at Arizona State University in the HI-Micro Lab (Heterogeneous Integration & Microsystems Laboratory) , led by Prof. Hai Liu in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering. The openings focus on advanced semiconductor packaging , heterogeneous integration , photonics packaging and integration , and MEMS/microsystems . Specific topics include 2.5D/3D packaging, wafer-level packaging, advanced bonding, PIC-TFLN integration, laser coupling, optical interconnects, high-SNR MEMS microphones, ultrasonic transducers, and optical MEMS. The research is aimed at high-performance computing, optical interconnects, and advanced sensing. The post highlights ASU’s location in the Phoenix semiconductor hub, with nearby industry connections such as Intel, TSMC, Amkor, Microchip, and onsemi. Applicants with backgrounds in EE, materials science, mechanical engineering, physics, optics, or acoustics are encouraged to apply. Interest in cleanroom microfabrication and packaging is a plus, and prior research experience is preferred but not required. Funding: all PhD students are fully funded . How to apply: email your CV, transcripts, and a brief research statement to [email protected] .
