This work combines fundamental studies with forward-looking engineering efforts in a way that promotes positive feedback between the two. Some highlights of his recent work include the first flexible paperlike displays, tunable microfluidic optical fiber, stamping techniques with nanometer resolution, and liquid-crystal modulators built on optical fiber tips.

Currently he is developing new applications using this technology in related fields of photonics. His additional work in material growth methods includes chemical reaction studies of metal clusters, active oxygen source growth of high-Tc superconductor films, and very low pressure chemical vapor deposition of silicon and germanium alloys.
