We aim
to explore fundamental properties of single molecules
and nanostructured materials, develop new electronic and chem- and bio-sensor devices, and build fully integrated
devices for real-world applications. To reach the goal,
we take a multi-length scale approach that integrates
synthesis of molecules, fabrication of nano- and
micro-structures, characterization of device properties,
and validation of device functions. We have gathered a
diverse group of researchers and students from
electrical engineering, device physics, chemistry and
biochemistry, and materials, and collaborate with
organic chemists and theoreticians around the world, and
work closely with researchers from Motorola, Intel, Dial
and other companies.
Our current research projects include:
•
Molecular electronics and nanoelectronics
• Chemical sensors
•
Biosensors and nano/microfluidics devices
•
Electrochemical nanofabrications
• Instrumentation for analytical and biomedical research
