PhD and Postdoctoral Positions in AI for Power Electronics and Semiconductor Manufacturing at Florida State University
Dr. Xinze Li is recruiting
PhD students
and
postdoctoral researchers
to join a new group at
Florida State University
(FAMU-FSU College of Engineering) starting in Fall 2026. The research vision is to build
AI-native power electronics
and next-generation intelligent energy technologies that can learn, adapt, explain, optimize, and eventually manage themselves.
The group’s research spans
artificial intelligence
,
power electronics
,
semiconductor manufacturing
,
digital twins
,
reliability
,
automation
, and
intelligent energy systems
. Specific themes include
physical AI
,
explainable AI
, and
agentic AI
for power electronics design, simulation, maintenance, and process optimization. The website also highlights AI for power semiconductor manufacturing, fabrication process optimization, and hardware-aware intelligent systems.
For the PhD opening, the site indicates a minimum GPA of
3.0/4.0
and notes that
GRE is not required
. The postdoctoral opening is aimed at candidates with a PhD in a related field such as power electronics, electrical engineering, control, computer science, or a closely related area, with experience in machine learning, data analytics, experimental validation, or power electronics preferred.
The positions are based at
Florida State University
in the United States. The post and website do not provide a specific stipend or salary amount in the extracted text, but they present the roles as research positions with application details on the personal website.
Interested applicants should review the position details on Dr. Xinze Li’s website and follow the application instructions there. A contact email is listed on the site for inquiries.
