The REN group works on the forefront of material chemistry, including materials-by-design, synthesis, self-assembly, and transformative manufacturing of multifunctional materials with an emphasis on novel magnetic, electronic, thermal and mechanical properties for emerging technologies. We are committed to realizing our vision by focusing on three main thrusts: (1) Strongly correlated molecular matters for unusual ferroics and energetics; (2) Extreme environment materials with thermal management – Printable ultrahigh temperature ceramics and metals, and thermally conductive polymers; and (3) Carbon-sequestration insulation materials for sustainability and energy applications.
