Mentor Areas
My research is focused on development of new families of single-atomic layer nanomaterials, building a scientific understanding of their physical and chemical properties, and translation of device structures into useful applications. In order to study the electronic properties, we must first connect nanometer size objects to the outside world. To this end we use a variety of nanofabrication techniques including optical lithography, electron beam lithography, thin film deposition and etching approaches. Much of our work relies on facilities in the Penn’s new Singh Center for Nanotechnology. The work involves ideas and collaborations across a variety of disciplines including electrical engineering, materials science, chemistry, biochemistry, and clinical medicine.
