We combine nanostructures (carbon nanotubes, graphene, etc.) with biostructures (protein, DNA, etc.)
to build new hybrid nano-biostructures and study their exotic properties.
Furthermore, we utilize the hybrid nano-biostructures to develop a new advanced functional devices.
Examples of our research topics include a ‘bioelectronics nose’ which can imitate the responses of a human nose
and a ‘noise microscopy’ which allows one to map the microscopic properties (mobility, noise source density, etc.)
of nanostructured materials.
