Integrated Photonics Sensors

The Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP) postdoctoral position focuses on developing wearable photonic integrated circuit (PIC) sensors for chemical and biological detection. The Integrated Photonics Branch in the Photonic, Electronic and Quantum Sciences Division seeks a researcher to work on wearable sensors for continuous sensing of chemicals, small molecules, and proteins. The project aims to develop a prototype and/or deployable system for health diagnostics and continuous monitoring in areas such as sports medicine, performance, safety, and health diagnostics. Current areas of interest include recognition element integration, microfluidics, circuit design, and computer interfacing. The successful candidate will assist in developing wearable PIC sensors with integrated electronics, characterize and optimize films/components for sensing requirements, and work with surface modifications and polymer deposition. This position provides an excellent opportunity to develop skills in silicon photonics and prototyping while collaborating with ARL researchers and other DoD institutions.
