Project title : Bio-compatible electrostrictive smart materials for future generation of medical micro- electro- mechanical systems (BioWings)
My project focuses on the engineering of the cerium oxide thin films by artificial interfaces that yield complex, yet tailorable interfacial morphologies, such as interface/surface, strain, modulation length, etc. We also synthesis freestanding membranes that could endure extreme large strain and allow the application of strain in a continuous way. We explore new phenomena facilitated by the additional degree of freedom, ie, stacking and twisting.
