Chi has been appointed the Temple Foundation Endowed Teaching Fellowship in Engineering No. 1. Congratulations!

Andy’s collaboration work with Prof. Franky So at NC State University titled, “Cavity Engineering of Perovskite Distributed Feedback Lasers,” was published in the journal ACS Photonics. Congratulations!

Ethan received 3rd Place for the Best Poster Competition at the 2022 NASCENT REU Research Symposium. Serving as Ethan’s mentor, Saurav was also recognized, receiving 1st Place for the Best Mentor Competition this year. Congratulations to you both!

Kun-Chieh presented his work on “Key Wavelength Selection for Optical Emission Spectroscopy Metrology of Direct-Metal Laser Sintering” at the 2022 Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) in Austin, TX. Great job!

Ethan presents his research on “Fabrication of Nanostructures using Binary Colloidal Nanosphere Lithography” at the UT Summer REU Research Symposium. Congratulations Ethan!

Chang Group attends the 65th International Conference on Electron, Ion, and Photon Beam Technology and Nanofabrication (EIPBN) in New Orleans, LA. Saurav presented a talk on EUV colloidal lithography, Andrew presented a talk on nanoparticle dispersion in super hydrophilic nanostructure, and Vijay presented a talk on multilayer nanolattices. In addition, Kun-Chieh presented a talk remotely on low-RF power HBr silicon etching and Sam presented a talk remotely on anti-dust surfaces. Congratulations everybody!

Gorgeous day on Lady Bird Lake to celebrate everybody’s accomplishments this year!

Yummy Dim Sum for lunch to regain some calories.

Congratulations to Samuel Lee on completing his Bachelor’s degree! Sam will be attending Stanford for his PhD studies. Best of luck in Palo Alto!

Also congratulations to Andy, who came back to UT for his belated PhD Hooding Ceremony!

Andy’s paper, “Sapphire nanophotonics: Fabrication challenges and optical properties” was published in Micro and Nano Engineering. Congratulations!

Rachel was selected to receive the Undergraduate Research Fellowship for her work on the hierarchical nanophotonic structures by the Office of Undergraduate Research at UT Austin. Congratulations!

I-Te has successfully defended his PhD thesis work on “Large Scale Manufacturing of Three Dimensional Nanostructures and Their Applications.” Special thanks to I-Te’s Doctoral Committee members Roger Bonnecaze, Li Shi, and Tanya Hutter. I-Te will be joining Applied Materials in CA. Congratulations Dr Chen!

Jeffrey’s journal paper “Virtual metrology modeling of reactive ion etching based on statistics-based and dynamics-inspired spectral features” was published in Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology B. Congratulations!

I-Te’s journal paper “Fabrication of Non-Uniform Nanolattices with Spatially Varying Geometry and Material Composition” was published in Advanced Materials Interfaces. The work was featured in the journal cover. Congratulations!
