Research Areas
Nanosensors
We develop new types of nanosensors built from low-dimensional materials for extreme environments and biological sensing.
Nanoribbon Transistors
We grow atomically precise nanoribbons, integrate them into transistors, and study their electronic transport and device challenges.
Surface Acoustic Wave Devices
We design and study surface acoustic wave devices, working toward topological acoustics for future advanced wireless communication.
Join Us
We are always looking for curious and self-motivated postdoctoral researchers, Ph.D. students, master’s students and undergraduates. Our members come from materials science and engineering, electrical and computer engineering, physics, optical sciences, chemistry and related fields.
