SAFN LAB
Our research group focuses on the fundamental understanding of formation mechanisms of various self- or directed- assemblies with nanostructures which enable unique and desired applications in biomedical, sensing, and energy materials, leading to large-quantity, low-cost manufacturing for functional nanomaterials.
Summer Joule Fellowship Program
Enrich your teaching and classroom activities by incorporating engineering into your curriculum. Plan to participate in one of our faculty’s laboratories assisting with cutting-edge research in an area focused on sustainable energy. Joule fellows will begin the program dates TBA. During this program, fellows will have the opportunity to attend the Confratute at UConn.
