**Research Areas**  
1\. bio-inspired design and synthesis of soft material-based adaptive and dynamic systems for energy-efficient shading and thermal control for buildings, tunable optics and photonics, and autonomous actuation systems.  
2\. the control of nucleation and growth of semi-crystalline organic materials on non-planar substrate and multi-functional hierarchical micro/nanostructures for energy and environmental applications.  
3\. dynamically switched instability-induced surface wrinkles and their use in mechano-responsive optics, adaptive shading, and anti-fouling applications.  
4\. nanostructured superhydrophobic and slippery surface coatings for ice-repellent surfaces and biomedical devices.  
  
**Teaching Experience**  
Teaching Fellow (Spring 2009), Applied Physics 235 "Chemistry in Materials Science" (Joanna Aizenberg)  
Guest Lecturer (2009, 2010, 2012), Applied Physics 235
