Research

Our group investigates the cutting edge research in Materials Science & Mechanics, in particular, understanding mechanical and physical properties at micro-scale and nano-scale. We develop the state of the art technology for measuring materials property, and establish new physical model to predict mechanical behavior, by using experimental, analytical and computational approaches. Such an insight may be useful for fabrication of advanced materials, safety and reliability of engineering materials system, and creating unusual physical/ mechanical function. Recent project includes nano and micro mechanics with advanced nanotechnology, surface/interface engineering, nano-porous materials for water purification/desalination, design of nanomaterial with self-assembled structure, and non-destructive evaluation (NDE) for fatigue, creep and environmentally assisted fracture. Our interdisciplinary research covers a wide range and is still growing. Some achievements are found in Publications.
