for Planetary Exploration

Welcome to the research group under the direction of Dr. Hongyu YU in the School of Earth and Space Exploration (SESE) in College of Liberal Art and Science, and School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University.

Our research interest includes:

· Integrate nano/micro-fabrication with variety of materials and mechanical structure for scalable 3D manufacture, such as integrating soft gels and hard materials for 3D tactile display for visually-impaired, utilizing origami platform for energy harvesting and deformable electronics, combining laser dynamic forming and 3D printing for 3D packaging.

· Explore new frontier of smart technologies and instruments for harsh environment  on the Earth and in Space, such as miniature seismometers for planetary and terrestrial geological study (Mars, Asteroids and glaciers), energy harvesting and storage systems for built environments, and sensing systems for structure health monitoring and operation in extremes.
