Research interests

Focused on advanced multi-physics manufacturing technologies. My work addresses the microfabrication needs of semiconductor materials by integrating laser/ultrafast laser processing, electrochemical machining, water jet, and micro-abrasive techniques to achieve efficient, precise, and near-zero thermal-damage additive and subtractive manufacturing. Application areas include high-efficiency precision dicing, polishing, microstructure fabrication, and surface metallization of semiconductor materials. In parallel, I employ simulation approaches such as finite element analysis, finite difference methods, and molecular dynamics to investigate underlying process mechanisms. I have led 2 national-level projects and 5 provincial/ministerial-level projects, published over 60 SCI-indexed papers, and hold more than 30 granted patents.

Teaching Courses
