Research Interest

  • Nanostructures based on semiconductor nanowires
  • Semiconductor optical devices on Si circuits for OEIC
  • Crystal growth for nano-devices with small source materials and power by bottom-up approach

 

Artificial photosynthesis is also my interest. Nanowires should play an important role in photoelectric CO2 reduction.
