Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher works on materials and devices that control light and heat, particularly using phase-change materials like vanadium dioxide (VO2) and Ge2Sb2Te5 to make surfaces that can change how much infrared light or heat they emit. Applications include thermal camouflage, optical security features (like anti-counterfeiting labels), stretchable and flexible emitters, and laser-based fabrication and welding techniques. The publication record also includes some unrelated work on driver behavior and automated vehicle studies, suggesting collaborations or activity in a separate research area.
