Multiscale Biomimetics & Manufacturing Lab

Elucidating the underlying principles of natural systems will enable us to develop more reliable, efficient and environment-friendly biomimetic systems with advanced performances.
MBM Lab is focused on the study of mechanics of macro/micro/nanoscale components in nature using fundamental principles of Mechanical Engineering, and apply them to the development of bio-inspired functional structures, devices and systems with innovative multiscale manufacturing techniques.

1. Multiscale Fabrication and Precision Manufacturing:

- Nano/Microscale: nanoimprint, soft lithography, rigiflex lithography, capillary force lithography.
– Meso/Macroscale: replica molding, rapid-prototyping, CNC, 3D-printing.

- Precise handling and transportation of delicate substrates (e.g., wafer and glass).

- Frictional and Adhesive Pads for diverse daily life and industrial applications

2. Bio-Inspired Structures, Materials and Systems:

3. BioMEMS and Biomedical Devices:

4. Nano-Bio Interface:
