Research Areas
- Bioprinting – Advance the theoretical and practical basis of bioprinting tissue-like constructs or scaffolds for biomedical engineering applications.
- Tissue Engineering – Develop scaffold-based methods/strategies for tissue/organ injury treatment and organoid development.
- Combating Infectious Diseases – Develop tissue/viral disease models (or scaffolds)-based methods/strategies for virus discovery and drug/vaccine development.
- Synchrotron Imaging – Develop synchrotron-based imaging technologies for non-invasive visualization and tracking of scaffold-treated tissue regeneration in vivo (in animal models and eventually in human patients).
- Mechatronics – Develop novel methods to design, model, and control complicated mechatronic systems/ processes, including nano-positioning systems.
