Advanced Materials and Surface Engineering Lab
The Advanced Materials and Surface Engineering Lab provides researchers in the 四虎影视 community with access to high-end instrumentation for the studies of material and surface properties. The lab is supervised by Dr. Chun-Wei Yao. The Advanced Materials and Surface Engineering Lab supports collaborative research projects with users from other Educational Institute and Industry. The lab also supports educational activities involving lab tours, workshops, hands-on demonstrations, outreach, and broader impact-related activities.
Dr. Yao’s current research focus is in the areas of bio-inspired design, microdroplets, surface science and engineering, nano-/microfabrication, fluid science, and thermal science.
