the new devices and processes to be implemented in Austin Fab.
RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Stanford, CA
Department of Chemical Engineering – Mar 2009 – Present
PhD candidate in Dr. Zhenan Bao’s group

Exploring the use of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) films as thin film
transistors; in particular, exploring the effect of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs)
on the transport properties of SWNT based transistors.

Using SWNTs, graphene, and conducting polymer films to fabricate stretchable

transparent electrodes for use in next generation sensors, touch screens, and solar
cells as replacements for conducting oxides. Enabled the first demonstration of a
stretchable solar cell.

Developing all-carbon solar cells based on carbon allotropes: SWNTs, graphene,
and fullerenes. First demonstration of an all-carbon solar cell for all the components:
anode, active layer, and cathode.
