We merge digital techniques and nanomanufacturing for mass customization and production of materials and devices from nanoscale particles, wires and membranes as building blocks. We explore digital nature of matter and invent optical tools to structure the building blocks into functional architectures via computer design and control. Inline metrology and feedback enable automated operation. Artificial intelligence is applied to further enhance production.

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 autonomous micro/nanorobots and lab-on-a-chip devices to bring healthcare diagnostics and therapy to underserved areas while advancing life sciences. Our robots and devices 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.
