Smart materials & Tech. Application (SM&A) Research Group
Introduction
Website: https://sites.google.com/view/smtalab/members/staff?authuser=0
Fields of research
- Nanomaterials Synthesis and Characterization
The team focuses on fabricating a wide range of nanomaterials—magnetic, semiconducting, and adsorptive—while investigating their structural, electronic, and magnetic properties. These materials form the foundation for multiple downstream applications. - Smart Materials for Sensing Technologies
A major collective direction involves developing gas sensors, particularly resistance-type gas sensors, aimed at detecting toxic or industrial gases. Research spans from material design to device-level optimization. - Environmental Materials and Pollutant Treatment
Several members work on materials for environmental remediation, including adsorbents for harmful gases and materials for water and air purification. This forms a complementary pillar to sensing technologies, addressing both detection and treatment of pollutants. - Magnetic Materials and Applied Physics Approaches
Investigations into magnetic nanomaterials and their functional behaviors (magnetism, magnetotransport, magnetocaloric effects, etc.) contribute to both theoretical understanding and practical device innovations. - Technology Integration and Application Development
While the group’s core is materials science, the orientation consistently moves toward technology-ready solutions, such as sensor modules, environmental monitoring components, and future smart-device integration.
