Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

The Microelectronics and Photonics group develops new materials, fabrication, and device technologies for use in next-generation electronic circuits, solar cells, visual displays, sensors, and optical communications. The group's current projects focus on:

• nanocrystalline semiconductor films for photovoltaics
• thin-film transistors
• photonic crystals
• negative-index materials
• organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs)
• OLED-based sensors
• plasma materials processing
  
• plasmonic devices and sensors
• electronic circuits for biological sensing
