The Toberer research group offers full support for a visiting Masters or PhD students for up to 6 months. Ideally, the student is interested in solid state theory or experimental measurements of structure or transport. A background in Chemistry, Materials Science, Physics, Computer Science, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering would be ideal. Our group conducts both theoretical and experimental investigations of thermoelectric materials, with an emphasis on discovering new materials and characterizing their properties. We are also focused on the use of machine learning (https://www.mines.edu/id4/) in materials and in the design of new automated characterization instruments.
