RESEARCH PHILOSOPHY
Mechano‑Nanofunctonics
We explore “Mechano‑Nanofunctonics”, a mechanics‑based approach to create novel functions from nano‑ to microscale structures using mechanical stimuli and responses. By directly probing the mechanical responses of nanomaterials and architected particles, and actively using mechanical stimuli to trigger and control thermal, electrical, optical, and chemical functions, we aim to design and develop new functional materials and devices for sensing, energy conversion, and advanced systems.
