Research Objectives and Approach

I work on nanopatterning of funtionalized materials and device fabrication.

Currently electron beam lithography is used as the nano- patterning technique to fabricate nano- and submicro- structures of thermoelectric materials (e.g. Bi₂Te₃, PbTe and LAST). Traditional microfabrication and other special techniques will be used to fabricate thermoelectric device and measure their performance.
