Prior to coming to Mason Pilgyu Kang was a postdoctoral research associate in Nam Research Group in the Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering (MechSE) at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). His research focusesÌýon developingÌýflexible optoelectronic sensors and devicesÌýbased on two-dimensional materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), for example, Molybdenum disulfideÌý(MoS2). He is also working on research (1) developing integrated graphene-photonic crystals systems for various flexible/wearable sensor applications including strain sensor, pressure sensor, and biochemical sensor, as well as (2) surface topography-engineered graphene-based optoelectronic systems for highly stretchable and flexible sensor devices.
