Last updated on Oct 4, 2026

We are thrilled to celebrate an important milestone for our lab. Our graduate students, Xinyi Ding and Haodong Hu, have both successfully passed their qualifying exams! We are proud of their hard work and look forward to their continued research progress!

Soft Responsive Materials Laboratory (SRM-Lab)

My research focuses on developing new stimuli-responsive polymeric microstructured surfaces and microactuators—leveraging fundamental principles of polymer science, chemical synthesis, mechanics, and advanced nano/microfabrication techniques—for applications in miniaturized soft robotics as well as optical and mechanical meta-devices.
