The Materials and Interface Nanotechnology Laboratory conducts research in a wide variety of topics related to nanoscience and nanotechnology. Our central goal is to explore the new physics that emerges from shrinking the dimensions of materials to the nanoscale, and to identify significance of the new science in an array of applied fields such as sensing, energy, and biomedicine.
Below are some current and proposed research projects:
- Directed self-assembly of silver nanocubes for SERS (Raman) sensing
- Bulk nanostructures as improved thermoelectric materials
- Eutectic Nanowires - structure and transport
- Nanoparticle formulations for X-ray tomography (medical imaging)
- Nanofluidic channels
