Background:
Lau is a physicist who studies novel phenomena in materials, systems, and devices on the nanometer lengthscale. Lau is available to comment on future applications of graphene, nanotechnology and nanoscale devices.
Her research includes the study of carbon nanotubes, superconducting nanostructures, molecular electronics, and graphene. The goal of her research is to understand and exploit such phenomena that arise from quantum confinement of atoms and molecules in order to engineer new classes of electronic and electromechanical devices.
She has published more than 60 research articles in peer-reviewed journals. Lau is also active in involving high school, undergraduate, and graduate students, especially minority and women, in her cutting edge-research, taking advantage of the ethnic diversity in UCR's student population and local communities.
