Short Description: |
Dr.
Chan obtained his Bachelor degree from the University of
Hong Kong in 2002 (BEng), master and PhD degrees from the
University of Michigan-Ann
Arbor in 2004 and 2007, respectively (MSc(ME),MSc(EE),PhD(ME)).
Some of his research interests in Michigan were the application
of the non-contact
two-dimensional high resolution (<500nm) temperature mapping technique
on electronic devices to examine the device performance
and the degradation mechanisms. In addition, Dr. Chan also
worked on fabrication and characterization
of organic light emitting devices, photovoltaic devices
and thin film transistors. His current research interests
are thermoelectric effects
in organic thin films and organic signal crystals, new
techniques for the fabrication of organic electronic devices
and the development of
a new non-contact temperature sensing setup to study the
thermal effects in organic electronic devices. Dr. Chan
is the reviewer for the Journal
of Applied Physics and Applied Physics Letter.

| News: |
| Currently
there are openings for graduate students (MPhil and Phd)
with assistantships. Candidates are expected to be highly
self-motivated in research, have
fundamental research experiences and solid backgrounds in
at least one of the following areas: engineering heat transfer,
solid state devices
and physics, material sciences and organic chemistry. Experiences
with device fabrication such as MBE, MOCVD and thermal evaporation
will be
a plus. Interested students are welcomed to send their resume
and one-page statement of research interests to Dr. Chan. |
