My research is dedicated to advancing precision manufacturing paradigms that directly support environmental sustainability, climate adaptation, and green industrial transitions. The core innovations include:
1) Eco-Efficient Laser Micro/Nano Processing for Multi-Material Systems
Through long-term systematic studies on femtosecond laser–material interactions, I have developed low-energy, high-precision processing routes for single-crystal diamond, amorphous soft magnetic alloys, and metal composites. These techniques drastically reduce chemical waste and energy consumption compared to conventional etching or lithography, enabling the fabrication of functional micro/nanostructures with enhanced durability, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability—key properties for components used in harsh climates, seawater-exposed infrastructure, and next-generation renewable energy systems.
2) Intelligent Ultrafast Laser Manufacturing Systems for Resource-Scarce Applications
I have designed and built a novel intelligent ultrafast laser micro/nano manufacturing platform that overcomes the long-standing challenge of micro/nano-scale patterning on difficult-to-machine materials (e.g., diamond). This system not only improves material utilization and extends device lifetimes but also enables the production of high-sensitivity optical waveguide sensors and precision diamond-based quantum sensors. These sensors are now being explored for real-time monitoring of environmental pollutants, greenhouse gas leakage, and microclimate fluctuations—providing critical data for climate risk assessment, early warning systems, and sustainable urban planning.
Collectively, my work bridges advanced photonics manufacturing with pressing environmental needs, offering scalable, low-carbon fabrication solutions and sensor technologies that strengthen societal resilience against climate change and ecological degradation.
