Shang-Fen Ren’s research area is computational semiconductor physics with recent interests focusing on semiconductor nanostructures and their energy applications. She has served as the Principle Investigator of nine research and educational projects supported by the National Science Foundation, Research Corporation, and Caterpillar Inc, and served as referee/panelist of grant proposals and awards of various federal agencies and national organizations. Since joining the faculty at ISU in 1994, she has established a research and education program on nanoscience and nanotechnology at ISU, and more than 60 students from ISU and national wide have participated research in her program.
A recent student project is
3D simulations of phonons in semiconductor nanostructures.
