Welcome to the Luyao Lu Research Group!
We work in the highly multidisciplinary field of bioelectronics at the George Washington University. Our research focuses have been on (1) studying, understanding, and exploiting unusual soft materials, such as nanomaterials, polymers, and organic/inorganic semiconductors; (2) developing new fabrication, processing, and engineering approaches for patterning those materials and controlling their electrical, mechanical, and optical responses. The current research goal is to combine fundamental material research with electrical engineering efforts to create advanced conformal electronics and optoelectronics systems, with an emphasis on bio-inspired, biomimetic, and bio-integrated technologies to facilitate personalized medicine design and accurate disease diagnosis. Our research is currently supported by NIH, NSF, and GW.
Openings
We have multiple PhD openings for 2025 Spring and Fall! Highly motivated applicants from the interdisciplinary fields including biomedical engineering, materials science, and electrical engineering are encouraged to contact Prof. Lu by email (luyaolu@gwu.edu) to discuss these opportunities. Please include your CV with a brief description of interests relevant to our work. We are also looking for highly passionate, talented, collaborative, and self-motivated undergraduate research assistants and master students to join us at GW.
