Research
Research interests
This group focuses on interdisciplinary research encompassing fundamental materials science, engineering mechanics, metrology, and nanotechnology. Currently, the team is pursuing two research directions. The first direction is to investigate the fundamentals of failure physics of micro-/nano-electronical devices, mechanical systems, and civil structures by combining advanced characterization techniques with modeling and accelerated testing. This area of research seeks basic understanding of ways to optimize materials and processing for improved system reliability and faster system development. The second area focuses on engineering of novel materials by altering their micro-/nano-structures. The aim is to develop applications in electronics, energy, biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, and civil engineering to take advantage of the unique properties of these materials and stru
