Managing projects (Back to top) (next) (supervisor: William A. Goddard III)

My research interest is to develop a strongly integrated theoretical/experimental strategy aimed at elucidating the fundamental mechanisms underlying the design of nano-structured functionalized materials applied in nano/molecular electronics and hydrogen economy. The projects I am managing include:

A. Carbon nanotube as the building block for nano-electronics. (PI: W.A. Goddard; Co-PI: W.Q. Deng) supported by Intel
B. Polymeric Nanocomposites for proton exchange membrane. (PI: W.A. Goddard; Co-PI: Mark E. Davis Caltech and Yushan Yan UC Riverside, Project Coordinator: W.Q. Deng) supported by DOE

C. Carbon nanotube memory device simulation. (PI: W.A. Goddard; Co-PI: W.Q. Deng ). supported by JPL

D. Silicon nanowire as the building block for nano-electronics. (PI: James R. Heath Caltech; Co-PIs: Nathan S. Lewis Caltech and W.A. Goddard) supported by NSF.
E. Novel molecules as the building block for molecular electronics. (PIs: J. Fraser Stoddart UCLA; Richard A. Kiehl Univ. Minnesota; W.A. Goddard etc.) supported by FENA-MARCO.
G. Design of the nano-structured thermo-electric materials. (PIs: W.A. Goddard) supported by Darpa-PROM.
