VISION
We Are Advancing Nanoscience and Changing the Way the World Thinks About Materials
We are committed to solving key material challenges by combining synthesis of nanoscale objects and their assembly into functional devices for nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, and energy harvesting and conversion. We use and develop new experimental techniques to establish processing-structure-property correlation toward truly deterministic nanoscience.
SYNTHESIS OF NANOSCALE MATERIALS
We develop synthesis and growth methods of nanostructured materials with the atomic precision. To achieve this goal, we combine physical deposition methods, including (MO)CVD, ALD or PLD, with wet-chemistry synthesis approaches.
ASSEMBLY INTO FUNCTIONAL DEVICES
Our research strategy is to address the key material challenges in nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, and in energy harvesting and conversion by designing hierarchical assemblies at different length scales and by combining different classes of materials into hybrid structures.
We work closely with industry partners. Check out our activities within the Applied Materials-NUS Advanced Materials Corporate Lab as an example.
PROCESSING-STRUCTURE-PROPERTY CORRELATION
We use experimental techniques to establish processing-structure-property correlation on the nanoscale. To that end, we use and develop new state-of-the-art electron microscopy techniques with atomically-precise structural and chemical characterization capabilities.
Research capabilities and resources
We are a research group based in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at NUS. Our labs are centrally located on the NUS campus. Here is how to find us.
Our research capabilities include access to shared T-lab facilities focusing on growth and synthesis methods with a fully-equipped characterization suite (Raman, PL, AFM, electrical characterization etc.), and electron microscopy facilities (located in E7 EMF). Some of the unique capabilities include He-ion microscopy, 2D materials transfer capabilities and access to the state-of-the-art cleanroom nanofabrication facilities in E6NanoFab.
