Brain-inspired Artificial Intelligence

Neuromorphic electronics has emerged  for energy-efficient computing by mimicking the brain nervous systems, which can process and memorize the data at the same time with ultralow operating power. Artificial synapse – based neuromorphic system is widely regarded as a feasible substitute for the von Neumann architecture. Our group aims to integrate nanomaterials, advanced manufacturing, and simulation to design and scalable manufacturing of artificial synapse, and corresponding brain-mimic architecture of artificial synapse arrays. Inspired by brain neuron system, we will further integrate such brain-mimic AI into the additive manufacturing for autonomous process control and quality monitoring.

Semiconductor Manufacturing and AI Chip Integration

As transistor scaling meets physical and economic limits, heterogeneous integration of memory, logic, and emerging materials is critical for sustaining performance and enabling next-generation computing. The demand for energy-efficient, scalable systems is accelerating with the rise of edge AI, advanced sensing, and data-centric technologies. However, integrating emerging memories and nanomaterials with CMOS platforms presents persistent challenges that limit manufacturability, scalability, and system reliability. Our group focuses on design and manufacturing of next-generation of computing architectures and AI chips through nonstructural innovation, low-temperature integration strategies, and 3D heterogeneous stacking techniques. By bridging device-level breakthroughs with system-aware design,we seek to enable manufacturable, energy-efficient semiconductor platforms, while exploring opportunities to interface emerging memory architectures with photonic interconnects for next-generation high-bandwidth, intelligent systems.

Sustainable Manufacturing

Sustainable manufacturing seeks to reduce environmental impact while maintaining productivity on Earth and in space. Our current research focuses on energy-efficient processes, circular material use, low-carbon additive manufacturing, and waste minimization. We aim to develop biodegradable materials and smart manufacturing systems on Earth and also target in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) and self-sustainable manufacturing in space for planetary sustainability and long-term space missions.

 

Nanomedicine and Bio/Nano-Manufacturing

Nanotechnology is very promising to overcome current challenges in the biomedical sensing, drug delivery, and healthcare treatment. Particularly, nano-medicine offers a new way for effective  treatment of cancers. Our current effort is to design and fabricate intelligent, responsive, immune-modulating nanosystems to integrate sensing, power, and therapy in real biological systems.
