We seek to capitalize on innovative nanomaterials' advantageous properties for the fabrication of next-generation flexible electronic devices. We place a strong emphasis on producing organic nanomaterials and to embed these materials with additional functionalities to achieve the fabrication of devices with superior performances as compared to traditional technologies. Our aim is to use rationale assembly to manipulate electrons, ions, and mechanical properties toward multi-functionalities. Our current research interests include:
Advanced materials and electronics integration
We are exploring the design of single atom catalysts for the design of gas sensors with enhanced sensitivity and response time to a wide range of gases.
Next-generation gas sensing materials
The novel sensing materials are explored for the detection of common gases (ammonia, volatile organic compounds, hydrogen sulfide, etc)
Electronic wastes is a worlwide problematic, leading the ever increasing accumulation and consequent contimation of the environment.
Flexible and biodegradable substrates for electronics
We are exploring the transformation of natural materials (i,e,, cellulose nanofibrils) for the formulation of flexible, stretchable, and biodegradable substrates that aresuitable for the manufacturing of electronic devices.
Circuit writing is a complex process that require expensive infrastructures, and with limitations on the type of materials, and substrates, that can be used.
Laser sintering for direct writing of electronic components
We are exploring the use of laser sintering for writing circuits and electronic components, such as microwave ring resonators, for the design of low-cost, and flexible circuits and components. We are particularly interested in writing antennas and microwave ring resonators capable of communication wirelessly, and enabling them with sensing functions.
Artificial synpases are the product of mimic the operation of the brain. The fabrication of such electrical components has a wide range of implications for smarter devices, computing, etc.
Fabrication of electrochemical transistors synapses
We are investigating the synthesis and preparation of devices capable of mimic brain operation for the design of smarter electronic devices. We are putting an emphasis on achieving low-cost and enviromentally friendly architectures.
