Position Summary:

- The Biomimetic Surface Engineering Lab led by Prof. Anne Kietzig in the Department of Chemical Engineering is seeking a Research Associate who will oversee several ongoing research projects, including academic and industry projects, related to laser micromachining, wetting, materials science and materials engineering._

Responsibilities include:

- Acquisition and integration of a new laser scan head into our existing micromachining platform (as part of an NSERC Alliance project with Hydro Quebec).
- Development of micromachining process to laser-treat woven substrates of various material types (as part of my NSERC Discovery and the NSERC Alliance project with Hydro Quebec)
- Responsible for tuning and calibrating various equipment (ultrafast lasers, microscopes, etc.). This includes regular maintenance and troubleshooting when mistakes happen or when it comes to adjusting optics in beam paths or reconfiguring the existing experimental setup and machining code for a new project.
