[edit] Academic and Research Info

Qiangfei Xia is currently attending Princeton University for his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering. He is working in the NanoStructure Laboratory with Prof. Stephen Chou, the inventor of Nanoimprint Lithography, developing novel nanofabrication technologies and exploring applications of these emerging techniques in nanoscale electronic, optical, magnetic and biological devices. Before he came to Princeton University in 2001, he got his MS and BE degrees from China's Shanghai Jiao Tong University, both in materials science and engineering.

At Princeton University, most of his work is devoted to, or related with nanoimprint lithography. He has been focused mainly on laser assisted nanoimprint lithography, self-repair by liquefaction and its derivants. He also got nice results in fabrication of regular metal nanoparticle arrays, guided growth of carbon nanotubes and networks, and improving of photocurable nanoimprint lithography. More detailed description of his research can be found on his personal website.
