Carbon-based materials are at the core of nanotechnology research. The 2010 Nobel Prize for Physics awarded to the discovery of graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms, has opened an even more vigorous quest for translating into commercial applications the tremendous amount of fundamental physics that is being accumulated in this field. Our research is focused on the physics and applications of solution-processed, large-area graphene thin films prepared by assembling graphene platelets like jigsaw puzzles to cover large areas of a substrate. These films are used as platforms for cost-effectively assembling a number of futuristic devices including: flexible plastic solar cells, filtration devices for water purification and biosensing, and thermal sinks for electronic applications. Specialized tools based on nano-optics are used by our group to optimize graphene thin films for specific applications.

碳基材料是纳米技术研究的核心。 2010 年诺贝尔物理学奖授予石墨烯（单层碳原子）的发现，开启了将这一领域积累的大量基础物理学转化为商业应用的更加积极的探索。我们的研究重点是溶液处理的大面积石墨烯薄膜的物理和应用，该薄膜是通过像拼图游戏一样组装石墨烯片以覆盖大面积的基材而制备的。这些薄膜被用作经济高效地组装许多未来设备的平台，包括：柔性塑料太阳能电池、用于水净化和生物传感的过滤设备以及用于电子应用的散热器。我们的团队使用基于纳米光学的专用工具来优化特定应用的石墨烯薄膜。
