The Junhong Chen Research Group is actively recruiting graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and undergraduates to join us in researching nanosensors, nanomaterial-based energy devices, and nanomanufacturing of electronic devices through printing. If you are interested, please contact us via email at junhongchen@uchicago.edu
Welcome to
RESEARCH GROUP
JUNHONG CHEN'S
The Junhong Chen Research Group uses multidisciplinary experiments combined with first-principles calculations to design and discover novel nanomaterials for engineering various sensing and energy devices with superior performance, by taking advantage of unique electronic charge separation and transfer at material interfaces. The sensors address the current unmet need for low-cost, real-time, sensitive and selective detection of a wide range of analytes attractive for innovation at nexus of food-energy-water systems (INFEWS), smart and connected health (SCH), smart and connected communities (SCC), Internet of Things (IoT), and next-generation smart and resilient infrastructures, through interfacing with smart phones and terminals loaded with machine-learning, big-data analytics. The energy devices address the current need for cost-effective, high-performance production and storage of renewable energy.
