Research Overview

Beyond graphene as an electrode.

The graphene portfolio treats the material as a fabrication and integration platform rather than simply a conductive electrode.

Material composition, substrate, laser parameters, surface chemistry, transfer methods, and device architecture are engineered according to the intended sensing, microfluidic, wearable, energy, or environmental function.
