Research summary
AI-generated

Benxin Wu's research focuses on laser-based manufacturing processes, particularly using lasers to precisely cut, drill, and shape materials like silicon carbide, carbon fiber composites, and semiconductor wafers. Much of the work involves combining lasers with water or ultrasound assistance to improve the quality and precision of tiny features such as microgrooves and microholes, alongside computational modeling of the physical processes (like bubble formation) that occur during laser-material interactions. This research has applications in manufacturing electronics, semiconductors, and advanced composite materials.

Publication output has been modest and variable over the last decade, with a peak in 2018 followed by generally lower and fluctuating annual counts, though a slight uptick appears in 2026.
