The Wu group is interested in designing and synthesizing nanostructured functional materials and investigating their electric and optical properties. One goal is to develop methodologies for novel nanomaterials and to establish an understanding of the crystal growth mechanism. We are also interested in using these nanoscale building blocks as “artificial atoms or molecules” to hierarchically organize into higher scale bulk materials through the controlled self-assembly processes and applying the obtained materials to applications such as energy conversion, catalysis, chemical sensing, nanofluidic devices, and thermoelectrics. Our research is highly interdisciplinary. We utilize knowledge, concepts and techniques from chemistry, physics, materials science and engineering to create new materials, explore new sciences, and enable new applications. We welcome students with various backgrounds to join our group.
