Current Research
His research efforts focus on microscale and nanoscale laser material processing and characterization, including laser-assisted nanoimprinting, laser-assisted scanning tunneling microscope, nanoparticle formation and thin film deposition, and fabrication of nanoscale optical and electrical devices. One of his current research interests is how to fabricate three-dimensional photonic bandgap crystals by combining laser nanoimprinting and self-assembly of nanoparticles. He is also interested in laser surface cleaning, laser chemical etching and deposition, and micro/nanoscale sensing. His research is mainly supported by NSF, AFOSR, AOARD, UNL, and industry.
