Eleven-time NBA championship-winning coach with the Chicago Bulls and the LA Lakers
The Atoms-to-Systems Lab focuses on the synthesis, integration, and application of novel soft ion-electronic materials for sensing and energy fields. Our projects involve synergizing materials chemistry, electrochemistry, semiconductor physics, device fabrication, and (in selected projects) biomedical engineering.
We see our work as a calling to our full potential. Our highly-cohesive group focuses on the development of tomorrow's researchers, therefore emphasizes independent thinking and technical competence. Our group culture is an effective synergy of Western and Asian values, including critical/independent-thinking and integrity, as well as interconnectedness and dedication to our profession.
