Current Research Project
Graphene is known for its high specific surface area and good thermal/electrical conductivity, which makes it suitable in applications such as wearable electronics and energy storage. Recently a graphenic nano-materials called laser-induced graphene (LIG) has been widely investigated due to its easy, cost-effective, and scalable synthesis.
The Ph.D. research entitled "Laser-Induced Graphene for Health Monitoring of Composite Materials" makes use of the superior electrical conductivity of LIG to develop a wide-range sensing platform that has the capability to detect various physical quantities in a composite structure such as strain/stress, damage area, fatigue crack propagation.
