Current research interests:

· Photovoltaics and photocatalysis

· Nanoporous structure and nanotechnology

· Chemical sensing and biomaterial detection

 

Techniques and methods:

· Self-assembly and self-organizing

· Nano patterning and thin film fabrication

· Optical and electronic property measurement

 

Dr. Fan’s research currently focuses on design, growth, and characterization of novel materials with emphasis on nanoscale thin films. One project is to develop a fast, easy and low cost process to fabricate nanoporous metal oxide thin films and membranes for solar energy conversion, photocatalysis, and biomaterials detections. The group is also interested in the optical, electronic and magnetic properties of organic/inorganic hybrid systems and bulk materials for the applications of molecular memory and spintronic devices.
