We are currently looking for self-motivated PhD students to work on projects related to high resolution printing, printed soft electronics, and micro/nanomanufacturing, starting from Spring/Fall 2025. Interested students, preferably with background in Manufacturing, Mechanical Engineering, Material Sciences, Precision Engineering, Printing, and other related areas, can send their resumes to Dr. Dong via email.
Overview
The research from Dr. Dong’s group focuses on the innovation of novel manufacturing processes, manufacturing systems and tools, and modeling and optimization of the manufacturing processes and systems for advanced micro/nano-scale manufacturing and biomedical manufacturing applications. Our recent projects include high resolution printing for flexible and stretchable electronics; super resolution additive manufacturing; data-driven tip-based nanomachining; machine learning, process modeling, and optimization for nanomanufacturing processes.
