Greetings! Our group at Colorado State University (Dept. Mechanical Engineering) is seeking technically accomplished and motivated applicants for a position at the Research Scientist / Postdoctoral Fellow level. The area is very interesting: Detection of
H2 emissions via Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy (CARS and PARS) methods. Start time is Fall 2025 or Spring 2026. Further information is provided in the attached pdf document. Please note that we are also seeking high quality graduate students. Interested
in candidates (for Post-Doc/RS or MSc/PhD) are welcome to email me at azer.yalin@colostate.edu.</div>

Laser Sensing of Trace Atmospheric Hydrogen: The United States is investing heavily in hydrogen energy to enhance domestic energy security and accelerate decarbonization. As hydrogen infrastructure rapidly expands — encompassing production, distribution, storage,
and end-use — there is a growing need for advanced, sensitive systems to detect and quantify hydrogen emissions.</div>

Hydrogen cannot be measured with conventional gas detection methods. To address this, our group is part of the U.S. Department of Energy ARPA-E

• Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) spectroscopy, which uses optical signal detection.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">
Both approaches emphasize sensor design, miniaturization, and packaging for robust field applications. Field testing will be conducted in collaboration with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, CO, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) in Boulder, CO. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge laser diagnostics, optical sensing, and energy transition technologies while working closely with leading national laboratories and government agencies.
