Welcome

this is the main page of the PopLab at Illinois

We are a research group in the Micro and Nanotechnology Lab (MNTL) at the University of Illinois (UIUC). Many of us are members of the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) department, and also affiliated with the Beckman Institute (BI). Our research is in the area of solid-state electronics, with collaborations in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering and Physics. More specifically, we are currently investigating:

Power and thermal challenges in nanoscale integrated circuits
Carbon nanotubes and graphene for electronic and thermal applications
Alternative solid-state memory devices, e.g. based on phase-change materials

We are pursuing these through multiscale simulation approaches, and carefully designed experiments and measurements. Some of the experimental devices are provided by our collaborators, and many are built in-house, here in MNTL. We are also interested in the fundamentals of charge and heat transfer in 1D/2D systems, and across material interfaces.
