91µÎµÎ

Updated: Sun, 10/06/2024 - 10:30

From Saturday, Oct. 5 through Monday, Oct. 7, the Downtown and Macdonald Campuses will be open only to 91µÎµÎ students, employees and essential visitors. Many classes will be held online. Remote work required where possible. See Campus Public Safety website for details.


Du samedi 5 octobre au lundi 7 octobre, le campus du centre-ville et le campus Macdonald ne seront accessibles qu’aux étudiants et aux membres du personnel de l’Université 91µÎµÎ, ainsi qu’aux visiteurs essentiels. De nombreux cours auront lieu en ligne. Le personnel devra travailler à distance, si possible. Voir le site Web de la Direction de la protection et de la prévention pour plus de détails.

Current research: 
  • Nanomanufacturing of MEMS devices for materials characterizations in situ electron microscopy
  • Experimental investigations of the mechanics of advanced materials (1D/2D materials)
  • Applications of advanced materials in novel production processes
  • Development of printing technologies (2D/3D)
  • Design and synthesis of advanced materials-based structures
Areas of interest: 

At the intersection of nanotechnology, materials science, mechanics, and manufacturing, my research aims to offer advanced materials-based solutions to challenges in everyday life by developing scalable functional material systems and production processes. Areas of interests include:

  • nanomanufacturing technologies that enable novel characterization and production processes of advanced materials
  • mechanics of contact between solids at micro/nano level
  • structure-property relationships of advanced materials
  • synthesis and assembly processes that translate nanoscale properties to large scale
  • advanced manufacturing technologies that accelerate the transfer of advanced materials-based technologies to the marketplace
