Research Interest

We are interested in the nanomaterials growth, their properties characterization, and device fabrications. In particular, we are interested in the piezoelectric nanomaterials in one dimension like ZnO nanowires, or in two dimension like atomically thin layers. We are employing AFM to study the mechanical, electrical, and piezoelectric property of those nanomaterials. We are also keen on the sensing and energy applications enabled by emerging nanomaterials.
