Brief Overview

 

Our research focuses on chemical sensors. The application areas include healthcare, environmental monitoring, industrial safety, energy and security. We utilize semiconducting materials – inorganic (silicon based) and organic (conducting polymer based). We look into the transport phenomena of the analytes to the reacting surfaces, surface reactions, charge transport in the semiconducting materials, physical modification (e.g. utilizing nanostructures) and chemical modification (e.g. utilizing self assembled monolayers) of the reacting surfaces, materials design and processing, device design and fabrication. For the organic semiconducting based material based sensors, we are looking at printable techniques (e.g. inkjet printing) on flexible substrates for large area/volume applications. The materials processing studies done here for sensors can find applications in other devices such as light emitting diodes and solar cells.
