Center for Advanced Nanodevices

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 started this group as a professor. 

Research Professor

Dr. Juan XIA joined the group in 2018 as a professor. She received her BSc from Sichuan University in China and her Ph.D. 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. 

Research Associate Professor

Dr. Shenghai Pei joined the group in 2021 as a postdoc, and was later promoted as a research associate. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Harbin Institute of Technology, and Ph.D. from from Harbin Institute of Technology jointly with Southern University of Science and Technology. His main research areas involve two-dimensional materials and related physical properties. Specifically, He has been active in the study of interlayer coupling effect in 2D materials and heterostructures under extreme conditions such as high pressure. 

Research Associate Professor

Dr. Bo Xu joined the group in 2017 as a Ph.D. student. He received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. His main research areas involve nanoelectromechanical systems based on two-dimensional materials and study of related physical properties. 

Postdoc

Dr. Jiankai Zhu joined the group in 2017 as a M.S. student. He received his B.S. degree from Chengdu University of Information Technology, and his M.S. and Ph.D. from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. His main research areas involve nanoelectromechanical systems based on two-dimensional materials and study of related physical properties. 

Postdoc

Dr. Zejuan Zhang joined the group in 2016 as a research assistant. She received her B.S. and M.S. degrees from Chongqing University in China, and her PhD degree from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. 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.
