Engineering Fundamentals 4 topics

Principles of thin-film formation and continuous liquid coating — the base of all our research.

How slurries, inks, and pastes flow and remember — yield stress, thixotropy, and microstructure, linked to processability.

Simulation across scales — finite-element free-surface flows, phase-field multiphase dynamics, and discrete-element particle models.

Closing the loop between recipe and measurement — automated unit processes, in-line analytics, and physics-informed decision algorithms.

Built on the fundamentals · 02

New 01 / 07 3 open

The physical self-driving lab we are building — liquid handling, mixing, coating, capping, in-line vision, and orchestration.

02 / 07 1 open

Using a magnetic field as the energy source that rearranges particles in a coated film — and the dimensionless numbers that decide when it works.

03 / 07 1 open

Transient stress, frictional contact networks, dispersant chemistry, and LF-NMR relaxometry in concentrated battery slurries.

04 / 07 3 open

Phase-field simulation of multiphase flows — rheologically robust interpolation, bubbles rising in viscoelastic liquids, and ternary systems.

05 / 07 4 open

Rheology, mixing, transport, die and coating flows, and microstructure analysis across the entire electrode slurry coating chain.

06 / 07 1 open

Experiments, imaging, and numerical analysis of ultra-thin ceramic layer coating for multilayer ceramic capacitors.

07 / 07

Pattern formation and Marangoni instability in blade coating of conductive thin films.
