Haozhe Wang

Two openings are available in the Wang Lab at Duke ECE, led by Assistant Professor Haozhe Wang, in the broad area of AI for Science . Postdoc opening : immediate start for research on autonomous/self-driving labs , including automated synthesis and characterization of semiconductors, closed-loop experimentation, and robotic platforms. PhD opening : for Spring/Fall 2027 , focused on large language models for scientific discovery , especially post-training methods such as reinforcement learning, fine-tuning, and agentic systems. The group emphasizes hands-on research with real instruments, real compute, and real-world scientific problems, and notes close collaboration with AI frontier labs. Keywords: AI for Science, semiconductor synthesis, characterization, autonomous labs, robotics, LLMs, reinforcement learning, fine-tuning, agentic systems. How to apply: Email [email protected] with your CV and a brief statement of interest. Reposts are welcomed.
