Welcome to the research group website of Professor Xiao Kuang

-We engineer forms and functions of soft (bio)materials for sustainability and healthcare!

We focus on the design and advanced manufacturing of functional soft (bio)materials/systems. Leveraging multiscale polymer design and characterization, additive manufacturing techniques, ultrasound technology, modeling/machine-learning tools, and bioengineering approaches, the AM2 Lab seeks to advance transformative design and manufacturing of multifunctional materials and (bio)systems for enhanced material/energy sustainability and precision health!
