Research summary
AI-generated

Hao-Yu Lan works in materials science and semiconductor device engineering, focusing on nanoscale optical and electronic devices such as plasmonic light absorbers, 2D-material (monolayer MoS2) phototransistors, and gallium nitride (GaN)-based light-emitting diodes and transistors. This research combines materials fabrication with device physics to improve light detection, light emission, and light-driven energy conversion (such as solar hydrogen production). Prospective students would likely engage in experimental work involving semiconductor fabrication, optical characterization, and device testing.
