The Electronic & Photonic Materials team conducts diverse research in semiconductor material development, characterization, and device applications. III-V compounds like GaAs, GaN, InP, and GaSb are crucial for advanced technologies due to their exceptional electronic and optical performance, enabling breakthroughs in high-speed electronics, photonic computing, telecommunications, military systems, and healthcare solutions. The Solid State Lighting and Energy Electronics Center(link is external) focuses particularly on blue laser technology for data storage and energy-efficient lighting. Additionally, the group has expanded its research scope to include silicon-based and alternative material microelectromechanical systems. Researchers have access to cutting-edge equipment for Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) and Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) growth techniques, complemented by the advanced fabrication resources of UCSB's Nanofabrication Facility.

Applicants who have conducted their post-secondary education outside of the United States must have completed an undergraduate degree program equivalent to a University of California bachelor's degree by the beginning of their graduate program at UCSB. Equivalent undergraduate degrees usually include a minimum four years of university work and above-average scholarship. The degree must be awarded by an accredited institution. To be considered for admission, you must have received a bachelor's degree or its equivalent from an accredited university prior to the quarter for which you seek admission, and have at least a B average (3.0 GPA) in your undergraduate coursework. Satisfaction of minimal standards does not, however, guarantee admission, since the number of qualified applicants far exceeds the number of spaces available. An excellent command of written and spoken English is required prior to enrollment at UCSB. Applicants whose native language is not English are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or the Duolingo English Test (DET). TOEFL paper-based test (PBT) 600, TOEFL internet-based test (iBT) and TOEFL iBT Home Edition 100, IELTS Academic and IELTS Indicator - Overall Band Score of 7.
