SMART ELECTRONICS & NANOSENSOR LABORATORY

Our mission is to develop novel sensor platforms, utilizing nano-structured semiconducting (organic/inorganic) materials. Our primary focus is on tuning their surface activity to achieve sensitive and selective detection of chemical species. Our research goals include designing novel active layers and catalysts. We are also interested in gaining fundamental understanding on sensing mechanisms. These objectives draw from multidisciplinary backgrounds in material science, chemistry, and chemical engineering. (See details in Research Interests)

POSITION AVAILABLE

We are currently recruiting highly motivated graduate (MS/PhD) and undergraduate students interested in the synthesis of inorganic nanomaterials and catalysts for semiconductor sensing applications.

나노소재 및 촉매 합성을 통한 반도체식 화학센서 응용 연구에 관심있는 대학원생 & 학부연구생을 모집합니다.
