Dr. Shoufeng Lan - NSF Award Notice

Drs. Shoufeng Lan (PI, MEEN) and Qingsheng Wang (co-PI, CHEN) have been awarded over $500k for their project, Collaborative Research: Additive Manufacturing of Optical Hybrid Materials under Extreme Gradients. The project is a collaboration between Texas A&M University and Texas Tech University. “This NSF project will use a combinatorial printing technique to understand how compositional doping influences OHM hybrid structures and develop a spatially resolved optical analysis system to identify the key factors affecting these materials under extreme material gradients. The successful execution of this research will enable new manufacturing capacities of high-performance optical materials for advanced lenses, lasers, and optoelectronics. The developed system will offer an ideal model for manufacturing and characterizing soft optical hybrid systems that are challenging for the existing fabrication techniques (Abstract).”
