Research interests：
Prof Chen’s research is focused on the fabrication, design and properties of ultrathin films and nanostructures, and applying to a range of problems in catalysis, optoelectronics, and sensors. These new interdisciplinary fields in nanoscience and nanotechnology supersede the more traditional disciplines and demand new paradigms for collaboration. Specific research areas include:
Selective atomic layer deposition method
Atomically design and synthesis of composite nanoparticles for catalysis, quantum dots
Ultrathin film process for flexible electronic and sensor technique
1) Developing highly engineered inorganic nanostructures with well-defined chemical composition, physical dimension and structure, and assembly of them into increasingly complex architecture
2) Investigating fundamental properties of such materials and exploring them as functional nano-systems for applications in electronics, optoelectronics, and sustainable energy
3) Fundamental understanding of such materials properties through the combination of experimental and theoretical modeling, and provide means of rational design of experiments
4) Design equipment apparatus to achieve the above fabrication goals based on different applications and their requirements.
