Research Topics
Designing Quantum-Materials
Historically, materials discovery has mostly relied on the Edisonian trial and error approach. However, such a traditional process becomes increasingly time-consuming, leading to material from...
Photonics in 2D-Materials
Two-dimensional (2D) materials are widely applied across many research areas, including photovoltaics, nanoelectronics, and thermoelectricity. Recent advances in top-down and bottom-up synthetic approaches enable the...
Thermoelectricity
Thermoelectric material, which directly converts waste heat to electricity, provides an ecofriendly power generator to reuse heat energy sources. New attempts have started for thermoelectricity...
Artificial Muscles
An artificial muscle is a novel actuator based on a variety of polymers or composites that change their shape when excited electrically. A composite of...
