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。这项研究将为具有高吞吐量、低成本和高产量能力的微甚至纳米级三维制造提供一种创新和潜在的变革手段。研究方法包括：a)研究多层叠层结构三维激光动态成形的加工机理；(b)发展不平整表面层压结构的控制制造；(c)制造功能性层压复合材料结构，例如用于生物医学应用的微机电系统；(d)描述形成的多层结构的物理性质；(e)研究三维激光动态成形工艺的可制造性并对工艺进行优化。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，便携式电子和通信的低成本和柔性太阳能电池。这项研究是跨学科的，调查了目前在制造、机械和设备工程方面的研究差距。研究生和本科生将有机会参与多学科研究，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来吸引公众；b)与工程学会合作，例如电气和电子工程师学会，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有益于我们的福祉；C)强调弱势群体和少数群体的教育。
