معرفی
Lee Chow is Professor of Physics at the University of Central Florida with a joint appointment in Materials Science & Engineering. He received his Ph.D. from Clark University and completed postdoctoral training at UNC Chapel Hill before joining UCF in 1983. His research specializes in nanoscale materials including carbon nanotube synthesis, ZnO thin films, and nanostructure fabrication.
Chow's research focuses on nanomaterials synthesis (especially carbon nanotubes), chemical bath deposition of semiconductor films, and nanofabrication techniques. His group develops nanostructured sensors for gas detection, biomedical applications, and energy systems.
Analysis of recent publications shows strong emphasis on metal oxide nanostructures for sensing applications, superconductivity in ultrathin films, and medical diagnostics using optical techniques. His team has made significant advances in developing nanosensors for health monitoring and hazardous gas detection.
- UCF College of Science Research Incentive Award (2004)
- UCF College of Science Distinguished Research Award (2009)
He has supervised over 14 doctoral dissertations on topics ranging from resistive pulse sensing to nanofabrication. His laboratory develops specialized instrumentation including the patented Capillary Ionic Transistor and Nano Scale Temperature Sensors.
