Masters and PhD Candidates
Fourth Year Thesis Candidates
Undergraduate Summer Research Opportunities
Post Doctoral Fellows
Positions Available
Our research is interdisciplinary and include semiconductor device physics, optics, micro- and nano-fabrication, chemistry and applications in tissue imaging, biomedical diagnostics, cancer studies and neurobiology. Our students will be working within these disciplines as part of project teams conducting experiments in topics related to in vitro biomedical diagnostics and in vivo optical imaging in rodents and in humans. For more information about research opportunities in our group please contact Dr. Ofer Levi.
Masters and PhD Candidates
Interested students should apply to the graduate program at The Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BME), The Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering or related programs in the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering at the University of Toronto. Applications open in November and are due in early January for starting in the following fall.
In addition, send Dr. Levi an e-mail indicating your interest and a copy of your CV and transcripts. If you have any of the following skills or experience, please mention them in your e-mail:
- Undergraduate and/or graduate coursework in optics, photonics, electromagnetics and applied physics
- Research experience as an undergraduate or a Masters student
- Micro/nano fabrication experience, working in a clean room
- Optics experience, in research or teaching laboratories
- Experience with theory and/or modeling and numerical simulation of electromagnetic problems
- Experience with biomedical imaging/sensing
- Teaching experience, leadership and teamwork experience.
For those students who have already sent your applications to the University of Toronto: Please send Dr. Levi an e-mail with the information above, so he can look for your application.
