Current Research
My research is in the frontiers of nanofabrication, including but not limited to scanning probe lithography and nanoimprint lithography. I try to understand material properties and behaviors under these nanofabrication processes and extend the fabricated structures into the application of nanoelectronics and sensors with biological and medical significances. Interested systems for such purpose include assembled monolayers for virus detection, patterned metallic alloys for semiconductor chips and polymer structures for organic electronics.
