ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵ

Dr. Jang is an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵ of ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵ at Lafayette. Dr. Jang received her PhD in Materials Science and Engineering at North Carolina State ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵ. During her graduate study, she worked on the microstructure and mechanical properties of nanocrystalline metals and alloys. After her PhD, she worked as a principal research engineer and project leader of printed electronics research group in Samsung Electro-Mechanics (2007-2015) and as a research associate in Sungkyunkwan ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵ (2015-2017). Her research focuses on semiconductor processing, thin film growth, nanomaterials synthesis and process, materials characterization, and flexible/printed electronics.

• Growth and characterization of functional thin films using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition of organic/inorganic precursors: ceramic thin films for passivation or encapsulation layers in organic electronics, low-k dielectric films for flexible electronics, hard mask layers used for ultra-fine patterned semiconductor devices, and chemically modified polymerized thin films for biocompatibility applied to biochips/biosensors
• Development of printing technologies with various printing methods (inkjet/screen/gravure) and sintering processes (thermal/photonic/laser/microwave/plasma) for electrodes and interconnects used in flexible electronic devices including thin film transistors, flex circuits, RFIDs, sensors, solar cells, light emitting diodes, printed circuit boards, and integrated circuit packaging
