FMS – Research Laboratory

Research Areas

Flexible Devices

We study flexible electronic devices built from low-dimensional materials, hybrid structures, and integrated thin-film platforms. This work is aimed at mechanically compliant systems for next-generation electronics and biomedical applications.

Semiconductor Material Processing

Our group works on the growth, processing, and integration of semiconductor materials for electronic and optoelectronic devices. This includes thin-film deposition, surface engineering, and fabrication methods for low-dimensional and hybrid systems.

AI-Assisted Material Characterization

We use data-driven methods to speed up material characterization and analysis. These tools help identify patterns in experimental data, improve measurement workflows, and support faster evaluation of material properties.
