Congratulations to Zhen for successfully defending his Ph.D thesis!

Dr. Zhen Wang

Congratulations to Zhen for passing his PhD thesis defense! The title of Zhen's thesis was "Demixing of Polymers Under Nanoimprinting Process". In Zhen's doctoral research, he studied the influence of substrate surface energy on the morphological evolution of planar polymer blend films and topographically  patterned films. He demontrated that high-fidelity pattern replication can be achieved on demixed blend films using nanoimprint lithography, which can then evolve into a wide range of unique and hierachical micro or nanostructures. He has authored a total of 7 research papers. He is also the recipient of the 2010-2012 Teets Family Fellowship. Congratulations, Dr. Wang!
