Energy, water, food, healthcare, and the environment are among humanity’s top five issues at least for the next 50 years. As a science enthusiast endowed with special skills unique to my field of study, I am interested in the fundamental research competencies in nature-inspired smart materials and manufacturing sciences. My research focuses on Colloids, Soft Matter, Microfluidics, Acoustics, Interfaces, phase separation, and Porous Materials. I use colloids, polymers, and emulsion-system to create nano-structured porous materials (ordered and disordered) with varying geometry and shape, which have broad applications in sensor technologies, tissue engineering, battery electrodes, filtration membranes, and passive coating.
