Research

The Nano-Cybernetic Biotrek (NCB) research group is an adventurous scientific voyage, fusing engineering, applied physics, and biology to bridge the gap between nanotechnology and synthetic biology. The group’s two major research directions are to :

• develop novel nanoelectronic devices ( such as Quantum Devices, Spintronics, Neuromorphic) employing ingenious device physics and smart nano-materials to achieve extreme energy efficiency, scalability and massive reduction of Green House Gases for sustaining the growth of Artificial Intelligence;
• merge such next generation technologies with living-matter creating unique nanomachine-bio hybrid systems, with remote control and wireless communication abilities to achieve unprecedented possibilities for probing/sensing and modulating (for therapeutics) our brain and body.
