Research Interests:

Nanofabrication, nanoscale electronic materials, devices, and circuits, micron-nano electronic/ optical/bio/mechanical systems, and ultra-scale spatial and temporal characterization.


Technical Research Interest:

Dr. Yong Chen is a joint Professor of California NanoSystems Institute, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and Materials Science and Engineering at UCLA. His current research focuses on nanofabrication technologies, integrated nano device and circuit, and nanoscale biological and medical sensors. Before he joined UCLA, he worked as a Scientist, a Senior Scientist, and a Master Scientist in Quantum Science Research, in Hewlett-Packard Laboratories from 1996 to 2003. The research group led by him in HP demonstrated the world's highest density (40Gbits/inch2) electronic memory circuits in 2003 and the first nanoscale de/multiplexer for electric circuits. His thesis research focused on optoelectronic materials, especially on self-organized semiconductor quantum dots.


Additional Information:

Dr. Chen is currently a Professor at California NanoSystems Institute and also Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at University of California, Los Angeles. His researches are focused on nanofabrication, nanoelectronics, and nanobiosensors. Before he joined UCLA in 2003, he had worked as a Scientist in Quantum Science Research at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories since 1996. He obtained his PhD degree from Materials Science and Engineering Department at University of California, Berkeley in 1996.
