Welcome to the Yao Group
Solving problems within biomedical sensing using advanced imaging technologies.
Our group focuses on achieving diverse functionalities in photonics and optoelectronics through nanostructure engineering and emerging materials to develop state-of-the-art devices with unprecedented performance or unique properties. We collaborate with materials experts and application specialists, working actively at two interfaces: material-device and device-application. We identify practical problems in applications such as biomedical sensing, advanced imaging, energy, and communications, and seek game-changing solutions at the system level.
