Inside Innovation: Shaochen Chen
Roth Auditorium and Terrace, Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine
Apr 17, 2018
Dr. Chen’s research focuses on developing advanced nano/micro-manufacturing processes and nano/micro-mechanical systems for biomedical and life sciences applications. Meantime, he investigates fundamental issues regarding near-field optics (e.g. plasmonics), thermal/fluid transport, and nanomechanics in these nano/micro-systems.
The goal of his research is to overcome the technical limitations of large scale conventional manufacturing processes, develop new processes and nano/micro-devices with good understanding of fundamental physics and chemistry, and to use these nano/micro-systems to advance health care. His research is highly interdisciplinary, involving laser physics, photonics, nano/micro-manufacturing, thermal/fluid transport, nanomaterials, and biomedical engineering on a small length scale and/or time scale.
