Research Areas
My research activities are mainly involved with the synthesis and characterization of innovative energy storage/conversion/harvesting materials, and translation of new materials to porotype devices/components for communication/energy/electronic systems by multiple advanced technologies, including tape casting, hot pressing, screen printing and 3D printing. I propose to explore the relationships of composition-structure-property and develop high-performance materials and devices/components for sustainable, greener and integrated electronic systems as well as microwave dielectric resonators and antennas for 5G communications.
