Our group focuses on:
Materials Manufacturing and Processing: ceramic materials, ceramic-based composites, additive manufacturingÂ
Energy Storage Materials: solid-state electrolyte for solid-state batteries
Mechanical Properties of Materials
From August 2025 to March 2026, our group published three papers in Journal of Materials Chemistry A, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, and Inorganic Chemistry!
September 2025, our lab installed a new benchtop X-ray diffraction system. We are grateful to the Office of the Chancellor of Penn State Harrisburg for supporting this equipment acquisition.
August 2025, welcome new graduate students Neha and Zhihao, and new undergraduate student Adam!
June 2025, collaborated with Dr. Xi Chelsea Chen from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, our research on composite electrolyte using high-entropy Li garnet as the inorganic filler has been published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A! It is featured as an inside back cover of the journal!
June 2025, Nava successfully passed his thesis defense, congrats! Wishing him a fulfilling and inspiring academic journey at Clemson!
April 2025, Nava and Chang received the University Libraries Research Awards for Excellence in Information Literacy Honorable Mention! Congratulations!
April 2025, Dr. Fu received the campus-wide Outstanding Early Career Scholar Award at Penn State Harrisburg! Thanks for the support of the Office of Research and Outreach!
