Our research interests are on micro/nanoscale heat transfer, and laser-assisted materials processing and diagnostics for wide range of applications.
Examples include laser assisted energy manufacturing by hybrid additive processes, laser assisted display/semiconductor devices, laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition for passivation layer deposition and nanomaterials synthesis, laser assisted micro/nanoscale chemical species analysis by laser induced breakdown spectroscopy, scalable nano-manufacturing, solar fuel production, three–dimensional hybrid opto–fluidic device fabrication for biological applications, optical near–field based nanoscale processing and diagnostics, time-resolved diagnostics by ultrafast lasers, and in–situ monitoring of light–matter interaction via light-coupled electron microscopes. Current research is mainly focused on energy manufacturing and engineering. |
