Lain-Jong Li

Exciting fully funded PhD scholarship opportunity in 2D semiconductor simulations at the National University of Singapore (NUS) , with joint supervision involving Yee Sin Ang (Assistant Professor at the Singapore University of Technology and Design) and Prof. Lain-Jong Li . The project sits at the intersection of electrical engineering , physics , and materials science , and focuses on developing next-generation 2D semiconductor device simulation tools that bridge advanced modeling with real-world devices. The research is especially relevant for candidates interested in TCAD , solid-state device physics , quantum atomistic device simulations , compact modelling , 2D materials , and first-principles simulations such as DFT . The team also highlights opportunities to collaborate with semiconductor/TCAD industry , making this a strong fit for applicants who want both academic depth and industry relevance. Eligibility highlights: a Master’s degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related discipline; strong fundamental knowledge of TCAD; background in solid-state device physics and quantum atomistic simulations; and good understanding of compact modelling. Preferred extras include experience with 2D semiconductors, 2D materials, DFT, a publication record, and industry experience in compact modelling groups. Target intake: January 2027. How to apply: send your CV and publication list (if applicable) directly to [email protected] . If you are motivated by computational device physics and advanced semiconductor modeling, this is a strong opportunity to join a high-impact research project at NUS.
