LABORATORY TEAM MEMBERS

I am currently working with a team of bright and energetic research staff and students. They are from diverse technical background (Mechanical Eng., Material Science/Eng., Polymer Eng., Chemical Eng. and Chemistry) to perform challenging research tasks. I am also working with a few dynamic undergraduate students who are interested in R&D projects.
