Nanosturctured materials/anisotropic materials/hybrid organic-inorganic interfaces

Modern patterning and fabrication techniques provide powerful opportunities for preparation of various micro- and nanostructured objects that can find potential applications in fields ranging from drug delivery and bioimaging to polymer based electronic devices and real time chemical sensors. In our program we will pursue research that will focus on the development of new unconventional fabrication and patterning techniques and the use of these techniques in preparation of functional micro- and nanostructured devices.
