Research Areas
Our research focuses on the intersection of advanced materials and novel device architectures to enable next-generation computing and sensing systems.
Low-Dimensional Materials & Nanostructures
We specialize in the structural engineering of materials at the nanometer scale. Our research spans from atomically thin freestanding membranes for exploring quantum phenomena to rationally designed nanostructures (e.g., porous networks) for maximizing surface interactions.
By manipulating both dimensionality (2D) and geometry (3D), we tailor material properties for specific applications ranging from high-performance logic to ultrasensitive sensors.

Heterogeneous 3D Integration Platform
Realizing multi-functional systems requires integrating dissimilar materials, yet conventional monolithic growth is limited by lattice mismatch. We propose a universal 3D integration platform utilizing freestanding nanomembranes.
By stacking diverse functional layers (logic, memory, sensors) without physical constraints, we achieve high-density, heterogeneous 3D electronics, transcending the limits of traditional device scaling.

Intelligent Sensor Systems & Free-Form Electronics
The next generation of sensors must do more than just detect—they must think.
We develop AI-enabled sensing platforms that process data locally (In-Sensor AI) for real-time decision making. Leveraging the unique mechanical flexibility of our freestanding nanomembranes, these intelligent systems can be realized in diverse form factors, enabling seamless integration into any environment beyond rigid chips.
