background:
Xiewen Wen, Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Mechanical Engineering of CityU is setting up the lab for intelligent additive manufacturing. He has co-authored more than thirty papers in prestigious journals such as Nature Materials, Nature Photonics, Nature communications, Science Advances, Advanced Materials, PNAS etc.
Our aim is to develop unique additive manufacturing techniques of functional materials such as glass, ceramics and composites, especially in the microscale and nanoscale. By functional, the group is aiming at the application in printing on-demand micro photonic components, micro lasers, electronic chips, flexible electronics, 3D microfluidic chips for cell diagnosis, and functional composite materials with pre-designed mechanical, thermal, sonical, optical and electrical performances to revolute the industry. We will develop every technique via robotic and intelligent means, eliminating intensive trial-and-error efforts by human hands, freeing your hands and flying your minds. Come, join and grow with us.
