Faculty at SDSU and UCSD collaborate closely in supervising the students as well. More information on the Engineering JDP can be found on the website of https://www.engineering.sdsu.edu/admissions/joint-doctoral.

Research focus at the OBES Laboratory is not only on fundamental study of small-scale fluidic and interfacial phenomena, but also development of novel nanomaterials and micro/nano sensing and actuation systems for bio and energy applications. More information on our research activities can be found on the website of https://obes.sdsu.edu/. Candidates interested in the positions are asked to send their updated resume, and a transcript to Prof. Park at spark10@sdsu.edu.
