[Topic 1] Our research lab focuses on the convergence of precision nanoarchitectonics and intelligent sensor systems to develop advanced, real-time, and personalized sensing technologies. We construct highly functional sensor platforms by designing nanoscale architectures using materials such as metal oxides and sulfides and enabling atomic-level hybridization. These materials are integrated into scalable MEMS/NEMS devices and advanced skin-interfaced systems—including wearable patches, smart gloves, and watch-type sensors—for continuous physiological monitoring. Complementing the hardware, we apply machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), and signal processing techniques (e.g., PCA) to analyze complex sensor data with high accuracy, enabling autonomous and adaptive sensing environments. Our goal is to bridge fundamental materials science with intelligent system design, paving the way for next-generation smart healthcare, environmental monitoring, and human-centered IoT platforms.

[Topic 2] Our lab also explores a unique branch of solution-based nanoarchitectonics, where we engineer hybrid materials with tailored properties through the use of pre-defined nanostructured templates. This approach enables the controlled synthesis of materials with precisely tuned chemical and physical characteristics by combining bottom-up solution processes with top-down fabrication techniques. By leveraging patterned substrates (e.g., ZnO, TiN, Au, Cu films), scalable techniques such as chemical doping and hierarchical layer-by-layer deposition are used to create complex architectures—including zigzag nanocolumns and porous metal frameworks. These platforms provide the basis for integrating transition metal chalcogenides (e.g., CuS, ZnS, NiS) with high surface area and crystallographic control. Such material systems are optimized for enhanced electronic, catalytic, and sensing performances, offering a versatile route to next-generation multifunctional devices. Our scalable, template-guided strategies aim to bridge the gap between high-throughput production and fundamental nanoscale design.
