Join the Su Research Group: FYP 2026-2027
Are you ready to tackle the world’s most pressing energy challenges or pioneer the next generation of smart manufacturing? Our group is looking for highly motivated Year 4 students to join our team for their Final Year Projects (FYP). We offer a dynamic research environment where fundamental science meets real-world engineering. By joining our lab, you won't just be fulfilling a graduation requirement—you will be contributing to cutting-edge discovery.
1. Advanced Energy Technologies: Hydrogen & Fuel Cells
As the world transitions toward a hydrogen economy, our research focuses on the "heart" of the system: Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs). We work on enhancing the efficiency and durability of energy conversion devices through multi-scale engineering.
What you will explore: Thin-film fabrication, electrode surface modification, and electrochemical characterization.
The Goal: Developing high-performance, low-temperature SOFCs that can power the sustainable cities of the future.
2. Smart Manufacturing: 4D Printing for Healthcare
Beyond 3D printing lies 4D printing, where we program materials to change shape or function over time in response to external stimuli. Our group is at the forefront of applying these "living" structures to the medical and dental fields.
What you will explore: Multi-scale advanced manufacturing, stimuli-responsive polymers, and the design of personalized wearable dental devices or medical implants.
The Goal: Revolutionizing patient care through biocompatible, shape-shifting technology that adapts to the human body.
Why Join Us?
Doing your FYP in our group is more than just a graduation requirement; it is an opportunity to:
Gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art cleanroom and characterization tools.
Work on projects with potential for commercialization and startup development.
Collaborate with a diverse team of researchers and PhD students at the forefront of multi-scale manufacturing.
Who We Are Looking For
We are seeking dedicated students who demonstrate:
Authentic Interest: A genuine curiosity for energy materials or advanced manufacturing.
Academic Excellence: A CGPA of 4.0 or above is preferred.
Proactive Mindset: Prior experience in laboratory research, design projects, or relevant internships is highly valued.
