Welcome to the Ebrahimi Bio-Electronics (e-Bio-e) Lab at Penn State University. Our mission is to devise innovative platforms, especially using low-dimensional materials, for healthcare-related applications. We have a Bottom-Up approach: exploring the underlying science (material properties and biology/microbiology) and leveraging them to advance engineering solutions (device physics/engineering and spectroscopy techniques). Our research at e-Bio-e lab
