NANO-ENERGY LABORATORY

Research areas

Current Research Focus

• Investigation and synthesis of new nanostructured materials including nanowires, nanotubes, nanoparticles, nanostructure embedded composites, polymer nanocomposites, and metal oxides for thermoelectric and photovoltaic energy conversion systems

• Measurements of thermal and electrical transport properties of various nanostructures, thin films, and polymer nanocomposites

• Investigation of alternative power generation and refrigeration systems

 

We also conduct research on

• Design and fabrication of nano/micro-electromechanical systems (N/MEMS) and Bio-MEMS

• Development of highly selective and sensitive micro/nanosensors

• Development of micro-robotic systems for biomedical applications
