1. Cross-Scale Manufacturing

We are working on the deep integration of micro/nano-manufacturing with cutting-edge materials chemistry to address the globally significant challenge of precise multi-scale structure fabrication and performance control spanning nanoscopic to macroscopic dimensions. Our research focuses on overcoming critical bottlenecks in "material-structure-function" synergistic optimisation within cross-scale manufacturing, establishing a novel end-to-end fabrication paradigm encompassing "atomic design - micro/nano-forming - macroscopic integration".

2. Micro/Nanofabrication

We are working on micro/nano-scale additive manufacturing technologies based on liquid-solid transformation processes. Through an integrated research paradigm combining innovative material design, process optimisation and equipment development, we aim to overcome the inherent limitations of conventional micro/nano-fabrication in material compatibility, three-dimensional forming capability and heterogeneous structure construction. Our work enables precise, controllable fabrication of solid micro/nano-structures from liquid precursors.

3. Materials Chemistry

We are dedicated to elucidating the physicochemical mechanisms and governing principles underlying liquid-solid phase transformations at microscopic scales. By combining advanced characterisation techniques, multiscale simulations and precision synthesis methodologies, we investigate diffusion-reaction kinetics in liquid-phase precursors and examine their distinctive evolution pathways within confined micro/nano-scale environments. Our fundamental insights provide theoretical foundations for cross-scale fabrication of novel functional architectures while driving innovations in micro/nano-manufacturing processes.
