Faculty Research Programs

Brad Berron group

More information coming soon.

Zhi Chen group / electrical & computer engineering and CeNSE / 859.257.2300, ext. 268

Focus on microelectric fabrication, novel semiconductor devices and materials, Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) transistor reliability, and microsensors.

Lance DeLong group / solid state physics / 859.257.2300, ext. 282

Focus on the study of superconducting and magnetic behavior of solids at low temperatures, high magnetic fields and high pressures, including superconducting thin films with controlled patterns.

Todd Hastings group / electrical & computer engineering and CeNSE / 859.257.2300, ext. 292

Development of electronic and optical devices that exploit nanometer-scale features and dimensional control along with fabrication techniques that exhibit the required resolution and accuracy. Target applications include computation, communication, data storage, and sensing.

Zach Hilt group

More information coming soon.

Barbara Knutson group / chemical & materials engineering / 859.257.5715

Development of novel solvent systems with unique properties tailored by temperature, pressure and composition. These supercritical fluids may be used to sterilize the protein-based drugs of the future.

John Littleton group

More information coming soon.

Bert Lynn group / chemistry / 859.257.2300, ext. 287

Use mass spectrometry to solve problems in biomedical and environmental research. Areas of investigation include proteomics (mass spectral analysis of proteins and protein digests by MALDI and LC/MS/MS), ion-molecule reactions for selective detection of environmental contaminants, and application and theory of quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometers.

Vijay Singh group / electrical & computer engineering and CeNSE / 859.257.3243

Focus on designing novel thin-film devices with specific interest in organic solar cells, SrS: Cu (blue emitting) and ZnS: Mn (yellow emitting) flat panel display devices, nano-porous metal oxide films, and smart oxides whose properties can be tuned by field or light.
