Nanosciences offer the promise of producing revolutionary advances in areas ranging from electronics and communication to biotechnology and medicines. This presentation will review some of the semiconductor nanowire research I conducted at UCSD. Specifically, I will present the development of ultra-high sensitivity nanowire photodetectors and engineering them into artificial photoreceptor for retinal prosthesis applications. Solar fuel research will be also briefly presented.
Deli Wang received his B.S. degree from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in Polymer Chemistry in 1990. From 1990 to 1996, Deli worked on organic nonlinear optical and electro-optic (EO) polymers at Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry (CIAC), Chinese Academy of Sciences. He earned his Ph.D. in 2001 under the supervision of Prof. Alan Heeger at the Materials Department of University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) with dissertation on the fabrication of novel biosensors using organic light emitting polymers. He then conducted his postdoctoral research with Prof. Charles Lieber at Harvard University on semiconductor nanowires based nanoelectronics. From 2004 to 2014, Deli Wang worked at the University of California - San Diego (UCSD) as an assistant professor and tenured associate professor in the department of electrical and computer engineering. His research interests are on nanoscale electronics, optoelectronics, sensors, ionics-electronics interfacing, renewable energy, human sensing, etc. Since 2014, Deli has been working on research and product development of wearable sensors for digital health, touch sensing and replay technology, prosthetics, etc. at NEEM Scientific Inc. Deli published about 80 peer-reviewed scientific articles with a total citation of > 21000, presented about 100 invited talks, held more than 10 patents.
