The Cao group seeks to exploit new materials and processing techniques to develop novel electronic and optoelectronic devices exhibiting enhanced performance and functionality with more custom form factors. More specifically, we work on developing 1) nanoelectronic devices based on novel nanomaterials, 2) high-performance mechanically flexible electronic devices and integrated systems, 3) next-generation memory devices for neuromorphic and in-memory computing, and 4) approach to integrate dissimilar materials into novel device structures or devices based on dissimilar materials with different functions on a common substrate.
