Minhee Yun’s main research focus is in sensor and device fabrication using nano-structured materials including single conducting polymer and metal nanowires, which is defined as smaller than 100 nm in size.  Nanostructured materials such as nanowire (NW), carbon nanotube (CNT), and nanoparticles (NP) offer much promise for advances in bio-medicine area due to possible enhanced sensitivity and selectivity.  In his previous work, conducting polymers (polyaniline and polypyrrole), and metals (Pd and Ag) are used for the fabrication of single nanowire sensor to detect DNA and Hydrogen Gases.
