Chen Yang
The Yang Research Group’s mission is in developing new nanomaterials with functionality gained from low dimensionality, structural and compositional complexity, and novel optical and electrical properties and for great societal impact. We adopt a “Design and Develop” strategy where we design the new nanostructures based on unique understanding gained through experiments and theories for the […]
Keith Brown
Dr. Brown primarily studies polymers and smart fluids in order to measure their useful properties, and the order in which they emerge, defining importance. Namely, he seeks to develop methods which increase the throughput of materials research using scanning probe lithography, autonomous experimentation, additive manufacturing, and combinatorial chemistry. Previous REU/RET Projects Include: Nanocombinatorial Electrochemistry for […]
Scott Bunch
Dr. Bunch’s research efforts focus on the nano-mechanical properties of a new class of 2D, atomically thin materials such as graphene – single atomic layers of graphite, and their remarkable mechanical properties such as high strength, extreme flexibility, and unprecedented barrier properties. In researching these topics, Dr. Bunch then plans to fabricate and characterize nano-mechanical […]
