Speech Title: Exploring the application of photoelectric nanoscience and nanotechnology

Abstract: 

Due to the quantum effects caused by nanoscale confinement, the fundamental properties of nanoscale materials exhibit peculiar characteristics that are completely different from macroscopic bulk materials. With the development of semiconductor electronics, present integrated circuits is in the nanoscale. Systematically studying the fundamental properties of semiconductor nanostructures and exploring new devices based on nanostructures will greatly enhance the basic understanding of nanomaterials, while also vigorously promoting the development of semiconductor optoelectronic technology. Based on fundamental scientific research and guided by major applications, our research group has systematically characterized the performance of typical semiconductor nanostructures and explored their applications in various fields such as optoelectronic sensing, luminescence, and medical engineering integration.
