The Nanoelectronics and Nanophotonics group uses a combination of experiment, theory, and modeling to discover and exploit the unique properties of nanomaterials for electronics, photonics, and optoelectronics.
In addition to addressing scientific and technical challenges from nanoscience to nanotechnology, our team of materials scientists, physicists, and chemists enjoys pondering the quirkier side of science, as can be seen in the Entropyman website created by postdoctoral researcher Edward Feng.
Our group also likes to spend time together outside of the research environment. We frequently take advantage of the many recreational opportunities available in the Bay Area, especially water skiing, orienteering, and scuba diving.
We are seeking a new staff member to conduct research at the interface between nanomaterials and biology. Download job opening announcement for additional information.

We developed a new approach to calculate the high frequency properties of nanoelectronic devices, as described in Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 026601 (2009).
Our group recently demonstrated that chromophores/nanotube hybrid devices can detect different colors of light. See this featured in Nature Photonics.
