Opportunities for Undergraduate Research in the Marder Group

There are several opportunities for undergraduate student to perform interdisciplinary research in the Marder group, working in close collaboration several groups within the Science and Technology Center (STC, a center for fostering research and education among several universities) as well as the Center for Organic Photonics and Electronics (COPE) at Georgia Tech. Students will receive exposure to the design, synthesis, and characterization of materials for electronic and photonic applications. Additionally, students will receive training in the preparation of coherent research reports, as well as in the preparation and delivery of scientific talks. In addition to supervision by Prof. Marder, students will be paired with a postdoctoral or graduate student mentor. If you are interested in participating in undergraduate research, please contact Prof. Marder directly for more information.

Active projects include: » The development of small molecule, liquid crystalline and polymeric electron and hole transport materials for use in organic light emitting devices, photovoltaic devices and field effect transistors » The development of two-photon responsive compounds for the activation of 3-D spatially resolved chemistry including polymerization reactions » The development of new polymeric and hybrid materials for precision 3-D microfabrication using two-photon activated processes » The synthesis of both second and third-order nonlinear optical chromophores and polymers
