This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). The research objective of this award is to develop a universal manufacturing method to fabricate composite functional structures/materials on three dimensional surfaces using laser dynamic forming. This research will enable an innovative and potentially transformative means for three dimensional manufacturing on the micro or even nanoscale with high throughput, low cost and high yield capabilities. The approaches include: a) studying the processing mechanism of three dimensional laser dynamic forming for multilayer laminated structures; (b) developing controlled fabrication of laminated structures on uneven surfaces; (c) fabricating functional laminated composite structures, such as a microelectromechanical system for biomedical applications; (d) characterizing the physical properties of formed multilayer structures, and; (e) investigating the manufacturability of the three dimensional laser dynamic forming process and optimizing the process. If successful, the results of this research will have significant impact on the general area of flexible and stretchable microelectromechanical system devices, such as flexible displays, smart textiles, various clinical and healthcare applications, low-cost and flexible solar cells for portable electronics and communications. The research is interdisciplinary, investigating gaps in research currently performed in manufacturing, mechanics and device engineering. Graduate and undergraduate students will engage in multidisciplinary research opportunities and benefit through classroom instruction. Innovative outreach efforts will be established, which include: a)engaging the general public through exhibiting at the public science centers; b) collaborating with engineering societies, such as Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, to create a general awareness of science and engineering principles and demonstrating how these innovative concepts can benefit our well-being, and; c)emphasizing the education of underrepresented and minority groups.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。该奖项的研究目标是开发一种通用的制造方法，利用激光动态成形在三维表面上制造复合功能结构/材料。这项研究将为在微米甚至纳米级上进行三维制造提供创新和潜在的变革手段，具有高吞吐量，低成本和高产能力。这些方法包括：a）研究三维激光动态成形多层叠层结构的加工机理;（B）开发在不平坦表面上叠层结构的受控制造;（c）制造功能性叠层复合结构，例如用于生物医学应用的微机电系统;（d）表征所形成的多层结构的物理性质;以及（e）研究三维激光动态成形工艺的可制造性并优化工艺。如果成功，这项研究的结果将对柔性和可拉伸微机电系统设备的一般领域产生重大影响，例如柔性显示器，智能纺织品，各种临床和医疗保健应用，用于便携式电子和通信的低成本和柔性太阳能电池。该研究是跨学科的，调查目前在制造，机械和设备工程方面进行的研究的差距。研究生和本科生将参与多学科的研究机会，并通过课堂教学受益。将建立创新的外展工作，其中包括：a）通过在公共科学中心展出吸引公众参与; B）与电气和电子工程师协会等工程学会合作，以建立对科学和工程原理的普遍认识，并展示这些创新概念如何使我们的福祉受益; c）强调代表性不足和少数群体的教育。
