Project

UGA CURO Symposium

I will recommend some of the best projects to be

presented in

Or support the project further in my lab by

providing resources or connections.

My Research

1. Develop nanotechnology

based chemical and

biological sensors

2. Understand the

fundamental physical and

chemical processes of the

sensors

3. Application of new sensors

for Infectious Disease,

Food Safety, Medical

Diagnostics, and

Environmental Detection

1. Solar energy applications

for water splitting

2. Solar CO2 conversion as

artificial photosynthesis

3. Develop new photocatalysts

for pollution treatment and

antibacterial coating

4. Design new hydrogen

storage materials

5. Explore new materials for

next generation Lithium ion

battery

1. Design catalytic

nanomotors and

understand their motion

mechanisms

2. Develop different catalytic

nanomotors using different

physical/chemical/biological

principles

3. Application of nanomotors

for Stroke treatment and

other medical surgeries

Nanotechnology

Research for Undergraduates

I always welcome undergraduate students to

work in my lab. Please contact me if you

are interested.

For the past 10 years, there are over 40

undergraduate students worked in my lab.

They have published papers or gave

presentation in different conferences.

Research Experience for Undergraduates

Apply learned knowledge to

solve real world problems:

better understand your

class work

Get to know professors

personally, so that better

recommendation letters can

be written for future career

Become a co-author of

paper(s) published in peer-

reviewed journals, which

will position you in a better

level when compete with

other peers

Get paid through research

Examples

36

Mr. Cameron Brown published 4 papers with us, and now is a

graduate student in Duke University Chemistry Dept.

Examples

Miss Whitney Ingram has won the first place

for the poster presentation in the category of

Physics in FGLSAMP (Florida-Georgia Louis

Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation)

National Conference in Miami, Florida. She also

received the 2010 Linville L. Hendren Memorial

Scholarship for Outstanding Proficiency in

Physics

Opportunities

1. UGA CURO program

2. UGA SURP program

3. NSF REU project

4. Peach State Louis Stokes Alliance for

Minority Participation (PSLSAMP)

5. Other support from government

agencies

Potential Research Projects

1. Smartphone based education: computer science,

physics, engineering

2. Stroke treatment: nanostructure synthesis

3. Metamaterials: photonic structure fabrication and

characterization

4. Bio detection: optical instrument

design/nanoparticle synthesis

5. Bacteria killing: chemical synthesis

Welcome Suggestions

I hope we can work together to make this

class a better class.

I welcome any suggestions to improve my

teaching!
