The area of microscale additive manufacturing of architected materials for flexible electronics is the focus of my dissertation. This research aims to use microscale additive manufacturing to create materials with complicated structures at the micrometre scale. Specifically, the research will concentrate on micro stereolithography based on Digital Light Processing (DLP). By incorporating nanoparticles into photo resins designed for certain uses, the nanoengineered feedstock will be tailored for DLP 3D printing. The DLP approach will build various precisely engineered, ordered, and disordered cellular materials. Ultimately, extensive multiscale experiments will be used to evaluate these structured materials' mechanical and functional characteristics and any energy devices or materials developed from them.

In essence, my research aims to use micro 3D printing to manufacture intricate 2D or 3D architectures, which will eventually aid in creating conformal sensors suited to certain applications and energy storage devices.

Aside from my research, I enjoy travel photography, playing cricket (loyal RCBian), and playing with my wee kid.
