Description

This interdisciplinary project aims to explore a new concept of using biological process (cell culture) to enable metal thin film deposition and device fabrication. It comprises three aspects, 1) study of biological process to see how the cell culture condition controls the cell growth and metabolic products formation; and 2) study of the metal film deposition process to see how we can modify the substrate to control the film growth; 3) combine the above two aspects using the bio-metabolism products to enable and control the metal thin film growth. This research position focuses the 2nd aspect, studying the metal deposition in relation to substrate and process. Strong interest is required, and some related background are preferred. Interested students please contact us through emails. Application on this database alone may delay the response.
