Our philosophy in research is to explore the unbeaten paths to produce novel and effective solutions for problems of scientific, technological, and societal significance.  Keeping this philosophy in mind, we publish our research results in scientific journals and carry out translational research to market and commercialize our research in the form of products through various channels.

Our lab performs research in two main areas: (a) biomedical devices and bioimaging systems and (b) photonic and electronic devices with nanomaterials. The former includes microfluidics, lab-on-a-chip devices, point-of-care devices, and novel devices for single cell analysis and drug discovery. Machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data science are used to enhance the abilities and explore the full potential of the hardware. The latter is primarily focused on devices and novel physical mechanisms in condensed matter and low dimensional materials that can achieve ultrasensitive light detection with single-photon sensitivity. Applications include LiDAR, imaging, night vision, medical and bioimaging, and quantum communication, computing, and sensing.
