Posting Detail Information
Position Summary
The Institute for Lasers Photonics and Biophotonics at the University at Buffalo is seeking a Research Scientist.
* The employee conducts research with a focus on magnetic nanomaterials, chiral nanomaterials, quantum sensing, magneto-optics and magnetic-field detection relevant to microelectronic systems.
* Research activities include the synthesis, processing, and characterization of magnetic nanoparticles and core/shell nanostructures, including iron oxide (Fe₃O₄) and cobalt ferrite (CoFe₂O₄) nanoparticle systems.
* The employee investigates magnetic anisotropy, exchange coupling, magnetotransport phenomena, and tunneling magnetotransport spin-dependent optical processes, and magneto-optical properties in nanoparticle assemblies for sensing, photonic, and spintronic applications.
* Experimental duties include nanoparticle synthesis, sample preparation, structural characterization using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), as well as magnetic characterization using vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), and Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS) instrumentation.
* The employee also performs optical, chiroptical, and magneto-optical measurements, including absorption spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, magnetic circular dichroism (MCD), magneto-photoluminescence (MCPL/Magneto-PL), and related spectroscopic techniques to study excited-state dynamics and light-matter interactions.
