PhD Scholarship

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.
