I have been reading your body of work on microwave applications, as this is closely related to my current research direction. In my Master's dissertation, I designed and fabricated a SiO2 layer on the ferromagnetic materials to study its microwave absorbing properties (1-18 GHz). I also designed and fabricated a hollow glass microsphere with a TiO2 layer on the surface of to provide a high contrast in refractive index and thus significantly increases the infrared light reflectance. Through the project, I learned how to combine different characterisation methods, such as XRD, TEM, and a lot of other characterization tools (mostly from vector network analyser) to analyse the phase composition, morphology, and dielectric or magnetic properties about materials. In addition, I am responsible for the experiment teaching of a 3D printer (FabPro 1000) for undergraduate students. And I am quite familiar with 3D modelling using CAD and 3ds Max.
Through my past experience, I found myself greatly interested in the design and fabricate the microwave applications. The project posted on your website matches my interests and skill sets quite well, and I am eager to develop new 3D-printing-process-based approaches to build functional meta-materials with active tunability using magnetic and dielectric materials. Besides, I am also interested to learn the fundamentals of meta-materials and how one can design amazing microwave properties using bottom-up approach.
