Center for Advanced Nanodevices

We are a group of interdisciplinary researchers at the Institute of Fundamental and Frontier Sciences at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. Our group peruses cutting-edge research in the broad field of nanodevices, including synthesis, fabrication, characterization, and engineering of nanoscale materials and devices, with a strong focus on nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), low-dimensional nanostructures, and device physics.

Principal Investigator

Dr. Max Zenghui Wang received B.S. degree in Physics from Fudan University, Shanghai, and Ph.D. degree in Physics from University of Washington, Seattle. Upon completing two years of postdoc research in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Cornell University, he worked as a research associate (and later as a senior research associate and investigator) in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Case Western Reserve University. In 2016 Dr. Wang joined the faculty of UESTC as a professor.

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr. Juan XIA is a professor in the Institute of Fundamental and Frontier Sciences, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. She received her BSc from Sichuan University in China and her PhD degree from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Her main research areas involve two-dimensional materials and related physical properties. Specifically, she has been active in the study of interlayer coupling effect in 2D materials and heterostructures under extreme conditions such as high pressure.
