Smart and Functional Materials

RESEARCH FOCUS

We develop smart materials for sustainability, including thermochromic sensors, passive cooling coatings, and self-healing concrete. We also create self-cleaning surfaces and explore renewable energy
with advanced solar and thermoelectric cells.

RESEARCH FOCUS

Our research group pioneers cutting-edge smart materials that revolutionize sustainability and resilience. We develop thermochromic composites for temperature sensing and coatings that enable passive cooling in green buildings. Our self-healing concrete enhances structural integrity, particularly in seismic-prone areas, while nano-TiO₂ coatings provide self-cleaning surfaces for a cleaner and low-maintenance future. Additionally, we harness renewable energy through innovative thermoelectric and dye-sensitized solar cells.
