Our research focuses on the nanotechnology based on materials chemistry, developing of advanced nanomaterials for energy and biological application. Of particular interest are areas regarding the designed synthesis of quantum dots for highly efficient QD-LED & solar cell and the development of system to achieve high yield & narrow size distribution of various nanomaterials using micro-fluidics system. We are also interested in the surface engineering of nanomaterials for molecular imaging, sensing, and targeting for biological applications.
