| Xiaoyu Zhang, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, 1304 W. Green St. Urbana, IL 61801, xiaoyu@uiuc.edu; Peking University (B.S. 2001), Materials Chemistry; Northwestern University (Ph.D., 2006), Chemistry, Prof. Richard P. Van Duyne; University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Postdoc, 2006–Present), Materials Science and Engineering, Prof. John A. Rogers. I am interested in architectures made of semiconductor and noble metal nanostructures and their surface chemistry. My research endeavor will be multidisciplinary and encompass analytical, biological, materials and physical chemistries to understand the unique properties of the nanoscale building blocks and develop optoelectronic devices and sensor strategies for microorganism and inflammatory diseases. This poster emphasizes the role that surfaces and interfaces play in separating and sensing chemical and biological species. It also highlights recent progress of my postdoctoral research in investigating electronic, optical and mechanical properties of low dimensional and nanoscale materials, such as nanotubes, nanowires, and graphene. I have assisted in teaching varying chemistry courses of different levels, from general chemistry to physical chemistry. I am interested in teaching and directing the research of undergraduate and graduate students in a four-year university. |
