Yi Cui joined Stanford University as Professor in 2005.Prof. Yi Cui is the Co-Founder and Director of Amprius, Inc. He leads a research group focused on exploring nanoscale phenomena for energy conversion, electronics, and nanobiotechnology at Stanford University. His group develops nanowire and nanocrystal materials for energy storage, solar cell and memory devices. Their expertise includes nanomaterials synthesis, characterization, single nanostructure property measurement, device fabrication and testing. Prof. Cui is the first person to demonstrate nanowire field effect biosensors. He has 32 publications related to nanowires and nanocrystals including seven in Science and Nature. His most recent breakthrough is in nanowire Li-ion battery electrodes with ultrahigh energy density (Nature Nanotechnology 3, 31-35 (2008). He has presented his work in over 70 invited talks at conferences, universities, and research centers around the world.
