1. Materials Chemistry

Solidification and crystallization are critical processes in advanced manufacturing. We are studying their mechanisms at microscopic scales. We hope to innovate and develop the technologies to engineer micro/nano heterostructures with desired properties.

2. Micro/ Nano Manufacturing Technologies

With a better understanding of materials chemistry related to micro/nano-manufacturing, we are working on additive manufacturing and pore-filling technologies to build micro/nano-structures. Our effort opens up avenues to fabricate future micro/nano-systems.
