Research

Novel nitride processing techniques such as photoelectrochemical etching and transparent contacts enable fabrication of photonic crystal membranes, microdisks, and enhanced light extraction LED structures.

Bio-templated materials combine the selectivity and programmability of biological systems with the optoelectronic and electronic functionality of semiconductor materials.

Investigation of coupling between nanocavities such as a photonic crystals or microdisks (SiN, GaAs, GaN, GaMnAs, diamond) and discrete emitters (quantum dots, nanoparticles, or impurities) may help realize quantum computing.
