Advanced laser processing techniques will be applied to the microfabrication of new functional materials, thin films and devices.
The formation mechanisms of surface nanostructures created by irradiation with femtosecond lasers and the impact of these nanostructures on the physical and mechanical properties of metallic and ceramic materials and 3D metal printing methods of single crystal aerospace components will be investigated.
Mono-to-few layer semiconductor transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) for photoelectrical applications with enhanced photo response by integrating the TMD with ferroelectrics within hybrid nanostructures and titanate nanotubes (TNTs) photocatalysts for photodegradation of organic pollutants will be developed.
