Kang Lab in AEDRG at DGIST ICE

Building upon the previous research experiences in microelectronic devices/microfabrication, and neural engineering, we are broadly interested in working on the following research areas below (but not limited to):

  • How can we improve novel electronic devices and develop fabrication processes for the next generation microelectronic devices (e.g. Transistors, TFTs, or Sensors) and their new applications?
  • How should we apply novel microelectronics, microfabrication processes (e.g. flexible, transparent electronics) for innovative biomedical/bioelectronics applications that will ultimately help our lives?
  • How can new functional materials be useful for novel devices when integrated with advanced microfabrication processes?
  • How can we continue the More than Moore by the innovation of materials and devices?

Below are some of the on-going research topics in our lab. For further details on our previous research, please visit our Previous Research or Publication pages.
