The central aim of our research is to design and manufacture micro/nanoscale devices through the understanding of mechanics, kinetics, and physical properties of engineered micro/nanosystems. We have a broad range of interests from fundamental science (e.g., kinetics in nanomaterial synthesis, interaction between inorganic and organic materials) to engineering applications (e.g., transducers, flexible/wearable devices). Our interdisciplinary effort includes scalable micro/nanofabrication, bottom-up synthesis/assembly, controllable integration/functionalization of nanomaterial, and mechanical/electrical/optical characterization. Ultimately, we work on designing and constructing low dimensional material-integrated devices on various classes of rigid and flexible substrates through advanced manufacturing strategies.
