Research
Our main research interest is to conduct basic and applied research at the frontier of nanomaterials, logic and memory devices, neuromorphic applications, flexible nanoelectronics, bioelectronics, RF integrated circuits, and electromagnetics. Our passion lies in discovering, understanding, and applying new paradigms to enable novel ubiquitous systems that can address societal needs.
My M.S./Ph.D. research focused on exploring novel two-dimensional (2D) atomically thin semiconductors, such as the Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) and hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN), for their application in memory and high-frequency RF switches. I published my work as a first author in Nature Communications, Nature Electronics, two IEDM (International Electron Device Meeting) conferences, and etc.
Nature Electronics: hBN switches for 5G & THz. On TV
A single atomically-thin layer of hexagonal boron nitride shows that thinner is better with regards to radio-frequency switching applications. This work is now published and is based on our earlier discovery of atomristors.
