Graduate Students

    There will be ongoing openings for motivated and enthusiastic graduate students in various areas related to quantum cascade lasers, terahertz devices, and low-dimensional semiconductor devices. Please see the EE Department for admission information. Please make sure to indicate your interest in Prof. Williams’s research on your application. If you are already a student at UCLA, please contact Prof. Williams with a copy of your CV, grades, and research interests.

Undergraduate Students

    Undergraduate research is a great way to gain practical hands-on experience with cutting-edge research, and see if graduate school is of interest to you. If you are an undergraduate student at UCLA who is interested in a research opportunity please contact Prof. Williams by email with a copy of your CV and grades.

Postdocs

    There are no current openings for postdocs.

Thinking about grad school in engineering? Or maybe you’re already a grad student? Here is a great advice article written by Prof. Rob Candler when he was a student about what it is like to be a grad student, and the processing of getting there. “Stuff most students never ask about grad school”

UCLA offers many opportunities for collaborative research, both inside the EE department, and across disciplines. The department offers world-class fabrication facilities in the UCLA Nanolab and UCLA is home to the interdisciplinary California NanoSystems Institute a newly opened center focusing on the convergence of nanotechnology (-fluidics, -photonics, -mechanics, -electronics), biotechnology, and medicine. Furthermore, southern California is home to many universities and a large technology industry.
