Mission
The mission of our lab encompasses nanophotonics and its application in biology with an objective to introduce powerful biosensors and bioimaging systems that can impact numerous fields ranging from fundamental research in life science and point-of-care disease diagnostics to environmental and food monitoring and safety.
Nanophotonics, which excels at controlling light in sub-wavelength volumes and providing dramatically enhanced light-matter interaction is opening up unprecedented opportunities in many areas, including biosensing. To this end, our lab employs nanophotonics and emerging nanomaterials (i.e. plasmonics, dielectric metasurfaces, 2D materials) to address key challenges of current biosensors by introducing compact and intelligent devices that can enable label-free, ultra-sensitive, multiplexed, rapid and real-time measurements on biomolecules, pathogens and living systems. To make our biosensors practical, we integrate nanophotonics innovatively with microfluidic systems and employ biopatterning techniques, low-cost wafer-scale manufacturing methods, and smart data science tools.
