We push the limits of optical manipulation and nanomanufacturing. We integrate our optical nanotweezers, nanoprinting and nanolithography with digital techniques to enable mass customization and manufacturing of achitected nanomaterials and nanodevices from nanoscale particles, wires and membranes as building blocks. Machine learning coupled with inline metrology enables inverse design, performance prediction and manufacturing automation.

Many of the basic molecular building blocks of life are chiral species, which are non-superimposable on their mirror images. We develop artificial-intelligence-enhanced chiroptical nanodevices to enable label-free enantiodiscrimination and enantioselective separation of chiral molecules. We are applying these devices to detect space life, to study the origin of life, to explore planet habitability, and to enhance drug efficacy and safety.

We develop lab-on-a-chip devices and untethered micro/nanorobots to bring healthcare diagnostics and therapy to underserved areas while advancing life sciences. Our devices and robots merge functional materials, photonics, thermodynamics, fluidics and artificial intelligence at the nanoscale to interrogate, manipulate and dissect biological organs, tissues, cells, bacteria, viruses, organelles and molecules at an unprecedented level.
