SEMINAR: Advanced Printing Technologies and Materials

Abstract:

This presentation contains two research proposals: the next generation additive manufacturing and the print-based nanomanufacturing exploiting unique characteristics of composite materials. As main application areas of those advanced manufacturing, fully printed multi-functional structures and in-situ tunable electromagnetic metamaterials will be proposed. In addition, impacts and challenges of the proposed research will be discussed. As the background of proposals, previous achievements on related topic areas, such as 3-D print material modeling, ink-jet printing and photonic sintering, plasmonic nanostructure design and manufacturing for infrared sensing, and electromagnetic metacomposites, will be presented. Finally, the collaboration and research funding plan will be explained.

Biography:

Dr. Jong Ryu has been an Assistant Professor at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) since 2013. Dr. Ryu received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2009 and had received his BS and MS degrees from KAIST, Korea in 2004 and 2006, respectively. Right after his graduate research, Dr. Ryu completed a two-year postdoctoral training in the plasmonic sensors also at UCLA. Before he joined Indiana University, he worked for Intel Corp as a senior engineer. His research is focused on additive manufacturing, nanomanufacturing, and multifunctional composite materials with the applications of bio-inspired plasmonic sensing, tunable metamaterials, and 3-D printed stretchable electronics. Dr. Ryu was awarded the Summer Faculty Fellowship to the AFRL in 2015 and 2016. His research has been supported by US Air Force and Argonne National Laboratory.
