Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots) have attracted great
attention for their distinguished roles in fundamental studies and
technical applications such as biological labeling and optoelectronic
devices.  In the last decade, the main efforts have been focused on the
preparation of size-tunable binary or core-shell nanocrystals with
different emission colors. In our research, we also focus on the
development of highly luminescent composition-tunable quantum dots
across the whole visible spectrum.  The resulting high-quality size- and
composition-tunable quantum dots have been successfully used as
multicolor biological nanoprobes for imaging, sensing, and drug delivery
applications. 

The Speaker: Dr Han Ming-Yong is holding a joint appointment with
Institute of Materials Research & Engineering and National University of
Singapore.   His research interests are to develop functional
nanomaterials and multi-color biological nanoprobes for biomedical and
optoelectronic applications.  He has published over seventy
peer-reviewed papers in the field of functional nanostructured
materials/nano-biotechnology. His papers have been cited over 3,000
times, and received over sixty news/comments from Nature, Nature
Biotechnology, Nature Asia Materials, Scientific American, Chemical &
Engineering News, New York Times, etc.  He also holds 20 patents or
patent applications.
