Fabrication, characterization and application of low-dimensional semiconductor materials
Testing and evaluation of quantum materials and devices
Net Zero Energy Technology
New Energy Alternatives of Internet of Things (IOT)
Environmental Electron Microscopy

Our research interests include the application of semiconductor materials in electronic components and energy technology. We discuss the fabrication process, structural analysis and photoelectric application of low-dimensional semiconductor materials including one-dimensional nanowires and two-dimensional materials. Our team also focuses on energy policy, such as net zero carbon emissions by 2050 and the development of alternative green energy technologies.
