Seok-Woo (PI) receives the UConn Research Excellence Award ($50,000, 05/01/2018~04/30/2019) with his collaborator, Prof. Ying Li (co-PI) of UConn Mechanical Engineering. The title of research is “Metal-like strong, but foam-like compliant nanocomposites.” Seok-Woo’ group is primarily working on the composite synthesis and nanomechanics characterization. Prof. Li’s group will work on molecular dynamics simulation to understand the deformation mechanisms.
