    Talk Title: Laser Induced Graphene: 2D-to-3D Transformation

    Abstract: Since disclosed in 2014, laser induced graphene (LIG) has been explored for applications in various fields, ranging from materials science, environment to sensor and electronics. Despite much progress, due to limitation of the technology advances, the reports are quite restricted to planar (2D) device fabrication capability. To tackle this challenge, in this talk, we will discuss new strides in advancing the capability from 2D to 3D to unlock LIG potential in multifunctional 3D devices. The first technological advance is to develop a 5-axis laser processing platform in 2023. With the two additional two degrees of freedom, the laser beam can be focused on any arbitrary surfaces so that freeform laser induction (FLI) of representative LIG, metals, and metal oxides as high-performance sensing and electrode materials for 3D conformable electronics was realized. Based on this success, in 2024, we made a new progress in developing a freeform multimaterial assembly platform (FMAP) by integrating 3D printing (fused filament fabrication (FFM), direct ink writing (DIW)) with the FLI technique. 3D printing performs the 3D polymer material assembly, while the FLI in-situ synthesizes functional materials (LIG, metals, and semiconductors) on or within any predesigned locations of the 3D structures by synergistical, programmed control system actuation. By this robotic fabrication platform, a crossbar LED circuit, touchpad for human-machine interactions, multiple sensors, sensor-enveloped springs, 3D micro electromagnets, force feedback manipulators, and microfluidic reactors with embedded heating elements were demonstrated to show versatility and effectiveness of the methodology. Finally, we will discuss how artificial intelligence, generative models can be applied to such a robotic system to push it toward a fully autonomous fabrication system. References: Nat.

    Biography: Dr. Jian “Javen” Lin is an Associate Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and the William R. Kimel Faculty Fellow in Engineering at University of Missouri (MU), where he was an Assistant Professor from 2014 to 2020. Prior to MU, he was a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science at Rice University under guidance of Dr. James M. Tour from 2011 to 2014. He got his B.S. in Mechanical and Automation Engineering from Zhejiang University in 2007. He then studied at University of California-Riverside and received his M.S. in Electrical Engineering and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in 2010 and 2011, respectively. Dr. Lin was awarded the ORAU Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Award In 2015, received an Emerging Young Investigator award from Journal of Material Chemistry in 2016 and Sony Faculty Innovation Award in 2020. Since 2019, he has been continuously listed in Top 2% Scientists in the World by Stanford Advanced Study Institute.
    Dr. Lin’s research group dedicates research in materials and advanced manufacturing to promote biomedical, energy, and robotics fields. His research lies in two main clusters: 1) autonomous manufacturing powered by artificial intelligence and robotics; 2) 3D/4D printing. He has published ~ 120 journal papers and 6 issued patents with Google Scholar citations of > 13,000. (https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=N9QA8vEAAAAJ&view_op=list_works)
