Opportunities

Bring your curiosity, analytical skills, and enthusiasm for hands-on research to ARPL.

Graduate Research

We welcome inquiries from prospective M.S. and Ph.D. students interested in electromagnetics, RF and microwave engineering, antennas, plasma physics, or related fields. Relevant analytical, simulation, circuit-design, and experimental experience is valuable.

How to introduce yourself

  • Send a brief description of your research interests and why ARPL is a good match.
  • Include your CV and a concise summary of relevant coursework, projects, publications, or laboratory experience.
  • Indicate your intended degree and anticipated starting term.

Research openings and funding depend on project needs and availability. Contacting the PI does not replace the university admission process.

Undergraduate Research

UToledo undergraduate students interested in experimental research are encouraged to get in touch. Potential activities include simulation, prototype fabrication, RF measurements, plasma experiments, and data analysis under appropriate supervision.

In your message, include your major, year of study, relevant coursework or projects, and the time you can commit to research.
