I have a deep interest in technology, from exploratory research in electronics to the technology development of new products. Human-technology interaction continues to change, with each transition driven by a combination of hardware advancements (e.g., research discovery, product development) and business/consumer interest. As the technology landscape continues to evolve, my research group seeks to contribute to the exciting developments, at both the core research and technology translation levels. A recent example is the founding of a startup company, Tyrata, based on printed electronic sensors invented in my lab at Duke. Research Interests:Large-scale integration of nanomaterials for high-performance devices or unique substrate applications (e.g. flexible, transparent) in areas such as low-power devices, thin-film transistors, and sensors. This includes: 1) exploration of nanomaterials for enhanced device performance, 2) characterization of nanomaterial-enabled devices, and 3) optimization of fabrication processes to improve yield, consistency, and integration density of devices incorporating nanomaterials. There is also a growing area of emphasis in my lab related to low-cost, custom electronic biosensors, wherein our collaborations with researchers from the Duke School of Medicine are opening new avenues for applying novel electronic materials and devices to intractable medical challenges.
