Mission At the Laboratory for Bio-Iontronics (BION), our mission is to make bioiontronic systems for biointerfaces and hybrid intelligent systems. To that end, we are interested in developing droplet-based iontronic systems, termed dropletronics, with key functions of embodied energy, logic control, stimuli-responsiveness, and therapeutics delivery, enabling interactive communication with biology. The dropletronic system will be formed from three-dimensionally (3D) printed picoliter droplet networks, which use lipid bilayer, functional nanopores, and charge-selective solutes to feature sophisticated ion control. For the PhD positions starting in January 2026, we are seeking 1–2 candidates with experience in 3D printing, microfluidics, microfabrication, stimulus-responsive soft materials, and bioengineering. Candidates should be interested in emerging, interdisciplinary fields and be motivated to address new challenges, including the development of (1) voxelated, multimaterial printing systems, (2) iontronic device and system design, and (3) organoid interfaces.
