Welcome to Professor Xiao Kuang’s Research Group
-We program How Materials Form, Function, and Adapt
The Adaptive Materials and Advanced Manufacturing (AM²) Lab explores how light, sound, and other physical fields interact with matter to shape the formation, structure, and functions of polymers, composites, and soft (bio)materials. By integrating materials science, mechanics, advanced manufacturing, ultrasound, artificial intelligence, and bioengineering, we seek to understand and control how materials are created, respond to their environments, and transform throughout their life cycles. We aim to advance programmable, adaptive materials and develop innovative technologies for advanced manufacturing, sustainability, and precision health.
