Welcome to “BEAM (Biomaterial Engineering and Advanced Modification) laboratory” website. We are studying (1) laser and material interaction, and (2) material and cell interaction in order to develop functional biomedical devices. Our current research interests are in laser interactions with biological materials, fabrication of flexible electronics and biofunctional materials, and laser materials processing and micro/nano machining.
“BEAM laboratory” 웹사이트에 오신 것을 환영합니다. 우리는 기능성 생체 의학 장치를 개발하기 위해 (1) 레이저와 물질 상호 작용, (2) 물질과 세포 상호 작용을 연구하고 있습니다. 우리의 현재 연구 관심 분야는 생물학적 재료와의 레이저 상호 작용, 유연한 전자 및 생체 기능 재료의 제조, 레이저 재료 가공 및 마이크로 / 나노 가공입니다.
