WELCOME TO
ASIPI RESEARCH GROUP

ASIPI research aims to pioneer scientific exploration by advancing surface functionalization through physical and chemical approaches, focusing on enhancing efficiency in physicochemical interface processes. By integrating cutting-edge research in surface engineering, functional polymers, interface mechanics, and micro/nano-fabrication, the designed static and dynamic surfaces are promising for strengthening and improving interfacial processes. The multi-processes of chemical conversion, interfacial adhesion, molecular recognition, wetting dynamics, and heat transfer could be regulated over multiple length scales. Leveraging the convergence of interdisciplinary backgrounds from chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, and materials science, ASIPI research offers keen insight into fundamental science and engineering applications to the stickiest interfacial challenges in the environment, energy, and health. These special topics include, but are not limited to, interfacial adhesion/lubrication, liquid/solid repellency, anti/de-icing, droplet self-propulsion, thermal management, drag reduction, water-energy nexus, nanochannel flow, molecular sensing, smart self-regulating systems, and energy storage devices.
