Site Map Courses Welcome! Our Group We research new materials and methods for micro- and nanofabrication. The overarching motivation of this work is to build useful tools and functional devices (e.g., nanoelectronics, solar cells, sensors, photonic structures, etc.) in a simple, inexpensive, and scalable manner. Our approach is to (i) elucidate the fundamental properties of materials to understand their structure-property relationships such that they can harnessed in a useful manner, and (ii) develop new, unconventional approaches to fabricate and assemble structures into hierarchical, integrated devices.
