My Ph.D. research: stimuli-responsive soft materials
"That which is of all things the most yielding can overwhelm that which is of all things the most hard"

Voxel‐by‐voxel Molecular Programming of Smart Structures
The underlying organizing principle is to exercise voxel-by-voxel (each voxel is single unit of volume of material) control over the geometry, material composition, and the material anisotropy (through molecular order) in order to program the material actuation (shape changing) in response to an environmental stimulus (heat or light). When responsiveness, geometry, and mechanics conspire, emergent design opportunities become possible.
Previous
MSc thesis: New additive manufacturing powder bed fusion system for large multi-material parts
Through this project, I reviewed the current methodologies of additive manufacturing which are capable of producing metallic components. Then I proposed a new additive manufacturing system named Pin-Platform System (PPS), to solve some of the current limitations of metal AM processes.
BSc project: Design, manufacture, and assembly of the deep drawing die based on Nakazima’s test to obtain FLD diagrams
Nakazima test is a useful tool to determine the forming limit curves for a material. It basically measures the materials' formability/plasticity by forming the sheet of material through deep drawing. Utilizing the existing standard and required dimensions by the lab, the die components we designed, fabricated, assembled, and tested eventually.
