RA Position Available for Fall 2025
Our lab has one opening for one Ph.D. student starting from Fall 2025. We are looking for candidates who have strong background and/or research experiences in one of the following areas:
Side-channel analysis (e.g., FPGA, embedded systems)
Wireless communications (e.g., software defined radio)
RTL level analysis, simulation, and verification
If you are interested, please send your CV/resume, transcripts, GRE and TOFEL scores, and publications (if any) to boyang.wang@uc.edu
Undergrad Research Positions (Avaliable: Summer 2025 & Fall 2025)
Our research lab is always looking for undergrad students who are interested in research in Fall, Spring and Summer semesters. UC undergrad students (in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Cybersecurity Engineering, and Computer Science) who are interested can apply through CEAS Undergraduate Research Co-op Fellowship (URCF) program. Most of the undergrad researchers in our lab are able to publish high-quality papers, receive competitive awards and fellowships, and continue their research at the graduate level through their research experience with us. For more detailed information, please send your CV/resume, transcripts, and publications (if any) to boyang.wang@uc.edu.
