Utilizing complementary three-dimensional (3D) structural, four-dimensional (4D) mechanical analysis (Synchrotron-based micro-tomography coupled with in-situ mechanical test), and finite element analysis, investigate the underlying material structural design strategies of natural ceramic cellular solids for achieving remarkable mechanical performance.
Methodology to acquire, process, and analyze the 3D cellular structures based on micro-tomography. Extract efficient feature recognitions of the complex cellular structures at three length scales, i.e., individual node and branch level (~10 μm), local cellular level (~100 μm), and global network level (~1 mm).
Numerical quantification of mechanical performance cuttlebone-inspired design on the heat sink and integral thermal protection system.
Drug Delivery with controlled particle size by Electrosprays; Fabrication of hydrophobic film (Breath figures and Marangoni convection); Response of Electrified Micro-Jets to Electrohydrodynamic.
