Research in the Ling Group is focused in the fundamental science and applications of nanomaterials and their hybrid structures. Their expertise concentrated on the synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals materials, their characterization through spectroscopy, and their implementation to develop novel nanodevices. They aim to use their interdisciplinary knowledge to:
Explore an effective method to synthesize new 2D crystals and integrate them in a controlled manner for solid state device applications.
Reveal the physical nature of such nanomaterials and the interface phenomenon of their hybrid structures using advanced spectroscopy techniques.
Develop high performance, multifunctional flexible and transparent devices for energy conversion and chemical sensing.
The Photonics Center at Boston University provides world-class materials characterization and fabrication tools.
