The SFU Nanodevice Fabrication Group is located on Burnaby campus in the School of Engineering Science, Simon Fraser University, BC, Canada.  We fabricate low-cost biosensors for the detection of fluid biomarker of Alzheimer’s disease, sensors for volatile organic compound and industrial gas detection, and new optoelectronic devices.

Our facilities consist of the shared Engineering Science cleanroom where we fabricate devices using nanoscale semiconductors. We functionalize the sensors with antibodies or aptamers for specific detection of biomarkers and test the device performance. Facilities include optical characterization, electrical characterization, device characterization. We also access shared facilities at SFU’s 4DLABs and other labs on campus.

Because of the multi-disciplinary nature of our research we work with collaborators in the Departments of Physics and Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, and partners in industry.
