Our research focuses on the development of new devices and concepts based on nanoscience and nanotechnology, which can lead to biomedical breakthrough and new investigations into advanced diagnostics, treatments, and prognostics of disease.
We have been fabricating various devices using two ways, 3D printing technology and standard lithography methods. Using a 3D printer in our laboratory, we are able to print 3D shape devices and parts that usually fabricated in the machine shop. Also, we use a 3D printed mold to fabricate PDMS-based microfluidic devices. To fabricate nanoscale structures and devices, we use the optical (UV, DUV) and e-beam lithography methods. We further examine and characterize nanostructures of the devices with multiple methods including AFM, SEM, and TEM.
