Project
UGA CURO Symposium
I will recommend some of the best projects to be
presented in
Or support the project further in my lab by
providing resources or connections.
My Research

based chemical and
biological sensors
2. Understand the
fundamental physical and
chemical processes of the
sensors
3. Application of new sensors
for Infectious Disease,
Food Safety, Medical
Diagnostics, and
Environmental Detection
1. Solar energy applications
for water splitting
2. Solar CO2 conversion as
artificial photosynthesis
3. Develop new photocatalysts
for pollution treatment and
antibacterial coating
4. Design new hydrogen
storage materials
5. Explore new materials for
next generation Lithium ion
battery
1. Design catalytic
nanomotors and
understand their motion
mechanisms
2. Develop different catalytic
nanomotors using different
physical/chemical/biological
principles

Research for Undergraduates
I always welcome undergraduate students to
work in my lab. Please contact me if you
are interested.
For the past 10 years, there are over 40
undergraduate students worked in my lab.
They have published papers or gave
presentation in different conferences.
Research Experience for Undergraduates
Apply learned knowledge to
solve real world problems:
better understand your
class work
Get to know professors
personally, so that better
recommendation letters can
be written for future career
Become a co-author of
paper(s) published in peer-
reviewed journals, which
will position you in a better
level when compete with
other peers
Get paid through research
Examples

Mr. Cameron Brown published 4 papers with us, and now is a
graduate student in Duke University Chemistry Dept.
Examples

Miss Whitney Ingram has won the first place
for the poster presentation in the category of
Physics in FGLSAMP (Florida-Georgia Louis
Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation)
National Conference in Miami, Florida. She also
received the 2010 Linville L. Hendren Memorial
Scholarship for Outstanding Proficiency in
Physics
Opportunities
1. UGA CURO program
2. UGA SURP program
3. NSF REU project
4. Peach State Louis Stokes Alliance for
Minority Participation (PSLSAMP)
5. Other support from government
agencies
Potential Research Projects
1. Smartphone based education: computer science,
physics, engineering
2. Stroke treatment: nanostructure synthesis
3. Metamaterials: photonic structure fabrication and
characterization
