Shaping the future through cutting-edge research and innovation
Overview
Overview
Welcome to Devices and Sensors Research Lab (DSRL). We investigate exotic and emerging low dimensional materials and use their extraordinary properties to innovate highly efficient sensors and devices for semiconductor applications, precision medicine applications, and sustainable energy applications. Our goal is to push the boundaries of current technologies to limits that have never been reached before with cost effective processes.
Our interdisciplinary group fabricates nanostructures and nanodevices through a range of innovative methods and fabrication techniques. We investigate integrated low dimensional devices and systems for strategic applications. We combine our efforts in nanoscience and nanotechnology to enable different applications in various sectors, especially in semiconductor chips, quatnum sensing, and advanced medical diagnosis.

April/23/2024: Congratulations to the team for publishing β-TeO2.
In this work, layer thinning of exfoliated Tellurene nanosheets is investigated. Along with Te thinning, β-TeO2, an emerging 2D semiconductor oxide, is investigated and the optical emission is reported for the first time. The findings show evidence of large exciton binding energy in layered β-TeO2 nanosheets.
