JENNIFER Q. LU FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS LAB
Jennifer Q. Lu Functional Materials Lab
Materials like steel, plastics, silicon, and advanced ceramics have revolutionized both industry and daily life. Continued innovation in functional materials and design is key to driving future technologies.
Dr. Lu's Functional Materials Lab integrates expertise in inorganic nanomaterial synthesis, interface engineering, and 3D printing with field-assisted pyrolysis and sintering to create transducer platforms that enable high-efficiency energy conversion. The lab also develops advanced fabrication methodologies for lightweight functional 3D ceramics and ceramic composites that can reliably operate in extreme environments, such as aerospace and nuclear settings.
