In this talk, I will discuss how nanostructuring of atomically-thin materials could create new functionalities based on the fundamental studies of mechanics and photonics at nanoscale. I will first discuss how nanostructuring of atomically-thin 2D materials allows for the enhancement of their exceptional material properties and creating new functionalities in mechanical, optical, plasmonic properties. I will also introduce a shrink nanomanufacturing method developed based on nanoscale mechanics of atomically-thin materials, including graphene and MoS2 atomic layers. Shrink nanomanufacturing allows large-scale, uniform crumpling of graphene, a two-dimensional (2D) material, enabling mechanical stretchability and strain tunability of a flexible optoelectronic device. I will highlight a high-performance flexible photodetector developed based on the shrink nanomanufacturing approach as well as its potential in flexible\/wearable optical sensing technology for biomedical applications.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003ELunch will be served at the beginning of the seminar.\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Micro\/Nano Mechanics and Photonics for Biomedical Applications\u0022 - Pilgyu Kang, Ph.D. - George Mason University"}],"uid":"27349","created_gmt":"2020-01-13 15:55:09","changed_gmt":"2020-01-13 16:08:46","author":"Floyd Wood","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2020-01-27T13:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2020-01-27T14:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2020-01-27T14:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2020-01-27 18:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2020-01-27 19:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2020-01-27 19:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/forms.gle\/xajpSrydkh2gMoSC7","title":"RSVP"},{"url":"https:\/\/ibi.gmu.edu\/faculty-directory\/pilgyu-kang\/","title":"Kang profile"},{"url":"https:\/\/pwp.gatech.edu\/biomicrofluidics\/","title":"Seminar website"}],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
