1) Nanoscale energy transport
- Energy transport in 2D materials (very thin materials of a few atomic layers bounded by van der Waals force which are used for new-generation electronic and photonic devices)
-
Greatly enhanced radiation in novel 2D materials and greatly enhanced
near-field radiation (radiation between two-closed spaces surfaces), orders of
magnitude greater than black body radiation
-
Thermoelectric phenomena and application of 2D materials
- Development of thermal switch – turning thermal transport on and off, and rectification – directional control of thermal transport
2) Nano-optics and laser-based nano-optical engineering.
- Nanoscale rapid, continuous 3D
projection printing, and improving printing accuracy and quality through
machine learning and artificial intelligence
- Plasmonic sensors, chiral sensors and
detectors based on novel 2D materials for bioengineering applications
- Nanoscale optics and near-field scanning optical microscopy with nanometer optical resolution
- High density data storage using
nanoscale optical antenna
