Of particular interest are methods for patterning materials on nanometer and micrometer length scales, techniques for three-dimensional (3D) nano- and micro-fabrication, and the development of new nano-composite materials having useful optical and electronic function. The nano\/micro-patterning methods we are developing should find broad application in several areas of science and technology including, the development of new composite optical materials, fabrication methods and materials for micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), micro-optical systems, and biological sensors. There are research opportunities in the NPM Group for highly motivated scientists and engineers at all levels and from many disciplines, including optical science, chemistry, materials science, engineering, nano-materials science and technology, and bio-related fields.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section
