1 Vacancy

Job Description

In this project, the intern can learn the manufacturing techniques of surface treatment of superhydrophobic substrates and the skill of precision instrumentation design and control technologies within a period of 2-3 months. Furthermore, the intern can learn how to analyze the measured data to understand the liquid moving mechanism and how to prepare the good presentation and valuable report. All candidates with enthusiastic heart for the scientific research are warmly welcome. Those who, majoring in physics and engineering or having experience in experiment, are especially encouraged. The research schedule of intern will be planned as follows,

  1. Basic lab training and practice of machining, such as laser engraving, CNC machining etc., for the fabrication of the needed experimental setup. (1-2 weeks)
  2. Training of fluid properties measurement, high-speed camera & visualization practice and data-acquisition & processing. (1-2 weeks)
  3. Surface treatment training, e.g., different wettability, contact angle derivation, visualization and digitization of drop motion on surface with different controlling parameters, e.g., plane inclined angles, wetting conditions, moving speeds and fluid properties experiments. (4-6 weeks)
  4. Motion control of the digital microfluidics and its application design (2-3 weeks)
  5. Mechanical mechanism and results discussion, and report finalization (1 week)

Preferred Intern Education Level

  • under or graduate level in the university.

Skill sets or Qualities

  1. Good teamwork and English communication ability (Communication in German is only possible to the lab director, Prof. Wang, in the lab). 
  2. Basic knowledge of physics and experimental ability.
  3. Enthusiasm for scientific research. 
  4. Obey the rules of lab and instructions of senior members.
  5. Join the assigned training program, meeting and finish a complete internship report.
