研究领域

Additive Nano-manufacturing 3D nanostructures have great potential for numerous application due to the unique optical, electronic, thermal, photonic, and mechanical properties, such as metamaterials, Biomimetic materials, plasmonic, nanophotonics, biosensors, nanoelectronics, etc. The huge challenge lies in precise fabrication of well-defined 3D nanostructures with resolution of few nanometers. Traditional nanofabrication methods, such as nanolithography, are very difficult to produce high-precision nanostructures in a 3D format, particularly freeform 3D nanoscale geometry. Emerging additive manufacturing is promising to solve this challenge. Our team aims to explore additive manufacturing of versatile 3D nanostructures with novel additive nanomanufacturing system, and then correlate the functionality to freeform 3D geometry with nanoscale features. Nanotechnology-enabled thermal energy harvesting Various waster heat will be harvested by nanotechnology, including nanostructure thermoelectric systems. Harvesting thermal energy has the great potential for clean energy, improving energy efficiency, high-precision thermal sensors, and solid-state cooling. Nanostructure materials demonstrate unique electronic and phonon transport. Our team aims to integrate hierarchical nanostructure, including organic and inorganic components, for exceptional thermal energy harvesting, particularly, low grade waste heat. Roll-to-roll(R2R) manufacturing of high-throughput nanoscale systems will be explored to provide feasible solutions for affordable novel systems with competitive manufacturing rate, quality, cost, and flexibility. Bio/Nano-Manufacturing and healthcare Plasmonic nanostructures and nano-fabrication are very promising for overcome the challenges in the biomedical sensing, drug delivery, and healthcare treatment. Our group aims to design, fabricate,and tune versatile plasmonic nanostructures for biomedical application and healthcare needs Water purification and reuse Rapid population growth (1% growth rate per year) and industrialization have made freshwater shortage one of the most severe crisis that threaten human beings. Currently, about 4 billion people suffer with the scarcity of drinkable water at least one month per year. In general, according to dissolved-solids concentration (milligrams per liter, ppm), water can be classified into seawater (>10,000 ppm), brackish water (1,000 – 10,000 ppm), and freshwater (<1,000 ppm). Drinkable freshwater resources, mostly in forms of groundwater and surface water, only occupies 1% of the total water resources on earth. This freshwater is not only necessary in maintaining human life, but also essential for social development, such as in agriculture, aquaculture and power generation.Our research team aims to explore novel nanomaterials and advanced manufacturing process for energy-efficient and cost-effective purification of brackish water and sea water.
