Lab for Emerging Device Technologies (LEDT)
The research in the lab for advanced devices pursues the development and investigation of various novel devices and methods ranging from bioinspired light trapping based on nanophotonic phenomena to biological sensing based on novel advanced field-effect devices exploiting electrostatic effects at nanoscale level for the realization of high performance, low cost and low power label-free, real-time and specific biosensing devices.
The research involves experimental as well as analytical and numerical work. The experimental work focuses on device fabrication and optoelectronic characterization using advanced optical near-field microscopy, far-field spectroscopy and device electronic measurements. In our analytical and numerical research work we use advanced finite-element tools for device calculations as well as numerical methods to solve complex electromagnetic problems.
