Duties:

The appointee will work on the development of nanophotonic materials for thermal energy saving and optically responsive applications. He/she will work in a dynamic team which is responsible for:

• Design and fabrication of nanophotonic materials, and integration to suitable product forms such as coating material, fabric and fiber;
• Performing calculations on optical properties of materials;
• Optimization of composite formulations for potential scale-up processes;
• Characterization and testing of optical properties of the materials;
• Testing of the performance of the material that is tailored-made to the requirements of industrial partners;
• Support scale up and commercialization of all R&D results for industrial partners;
• Prepare technical reports and presentations in timely manner;
• Meet all project timelines and milestones;
• Support the incubation of ideas to explore new cooperation opportunities with industrial partners; and
• Perform other duties assigned by supervisor.

Requirements:

• University degree in Chemistry, Applied Physics, Polymer Science/Engineering, Material Science/Engineering Mechanical Engineering or related disciplines;
• Master degree with at least 1 year industrial experience, or fresh doctorate is an advantage;
• Prior experiences on nanophotonic material development is an added advantage;
• Knowledge of solving calculations and conducting simulations of optical systems with software such as COMSOL Multiphysics is an added advantage;
• Solid hands-on experiences in laboratory and work; experience in supporting scale-up process is an added advantage;
• Competent in technical writing and reporting;
• Ability to initiate and work independently; 
• Good command of English and Chinese, articulate report;and
