Research Opportunity (Undergraduate / Master’s Students)
We are seeking a motivated undergraduate or Master’s student to engage in research focused on the fabrication of hydrogel microspheres and composite beads. The project involves experimental research in soft materials and micro/nano-fabrication, including hydrogel synthesis, particle fabrication techniques, and materials characterization. This opportunity is well suited for students interested in gaining hands-on research experience, strengthening preparation…

Congratulations to Luyang Liu for publishing paper on Small. This study introduces a novel approach for creating Nd:YAG ceramics with 3D free-form structures from micron (∼70 µm) to centimeter scales. Firstly, sol-gel synthesis is employed to form photocurable colloidal solutions. Subsequently, by utilizing a home-built micro-continuous liquid interface printing process, precursors are printed into 3D poly(acrylic acid) hydrogels containing yttrium, aluminum, and…
