3D-Printing in the Micro-and Nano-Scale
Closing Date: 31 July 2024 Apply Now
PhD Scholarship
This project aims to develop a 3D-printing platform that is capable of printing micro- and nanostructures such as functional nanofibers, nanofiber mesh and 3D scaffolds that mimic microstructures of tissues.
The proposed 3D-printing platform will consist of a spinneret that used to extrude a solution for printing, and a precision motion stage with nanoscale resolution. This project will focus on several key research challenges in devising this platform, including mechanical design and advanced control of the 3D-printing system, electrohydrodynamic analysis and experimental testing. The printed micro-structures will be characterized and tested for applications such as in tissues engineering.
