RESEARCH INTERESTS
Implantable neural prosthetic devices (NPDs) is a class of medical electronic devices that interfaces with the nerve systems. They have the potential to improve many current treatments for many neurological disorders and traumas. Our research is devoted to (1) the fundamental understanding of the bioelectronic interface between medical devices and the biological environment, and (2) designing nanomaterials that can achieve the combination of the desired material properties for neural prosthetic devices.
