Our lab currently consists of 10 Master's level students mainly from the Department of Physics at NTU
We have 6 PhD students that hail from Taiwan, Germany, and India.

After graduation, our students have secured positions in world-class semiconductor companies, such as TSMC, Micron, ASML, Applied Materials, Hitachi, UMC.
Students that stayed in Academia have become postdoctoral fellows in the Czech Academy of Sciences, Academia Sinica, and National Taiwan University. Moreover, our students have become Professors in the University of Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa, Indonesia, in Chung Yuan University, and in NTU.
