MY PROCESS

Fundamental design of structural materials with
lightweight and bio-inspired functionality  
 

Develop multiscale modeling and experimental tools to reveal the nanoscopic mechanisms in governing the large scale behavior of biological materials, specifically for their multiple advanced material functions (e.g., thermal, electromagnetic, biological, optical, tunable mechanics and acoustic) over engineering materials. 
Develop high-throughput computational algorithms to enable design and optimization of bio-inspired composite materials by using nanoscopic building blocks. Integrate computational designs with customized additive manufacturing and make structural materials suitable for advanced mechanical, energy, electronic, biomedical or multiple of these applications.

PORTFOLIO

Recent Work I've Published

For engineering applications, protocols to build stronger materials with less material consumtion are crucial to build reliable, energy efficient and environmentally friendly products. My recent work focuses on developing advanced computational modeling methods, using them to study fundamental mechanical properties of biological materials and applying the knowledge to design new materials of advanced mechanical, thermal and eletronic functions. I am working toward making materials that have significantly better performance but of lower energy and environmental cost than conventional materials for wide applications.
