Research Statement:
My general research interests are in the area of semiconductor nanostructured materials and devices. Currently, our efforts are focused on the following projects: (1)the growth and fabrication of GaAs, InP, and GaN-based III-V compound semiconductor three dimensional structures at the nanometer scale, and the realization of 3D semiconductor optoelectronic devices for potential applications in chemical and biological sensing; (2)the development of high efficiency GaAs-based THz photomixer and the on-chip integration with heterodyned tunable lasers and waveguide; (3)III-V semiconductor nanowire formation and applications towards nanoinjection lasers and nanoelectronics; (4)porous semiconductor nanoscale patterning and optoelectronic applications.
Research Interests:
