Mechanical Engineering Grant to Allow Study of Transformative Additive Manufacturing Technique

Mechanical Engineering Grant for Additive Manufacturing Study

Wan Shou, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, received a $246,000 grant to study semiconductor fabrication using a 3D printing process.

The grant, funded by the National Science Foundation's Early-Concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) program, will be used over two years to develop a transformative additive manufacturing approach.

Shou's project will focus on understanding the phase change and solidification of silicon in laser-based manufacturing.

The EAGER grants support early-stage, untested, but potentially transformative research ideas or approaches.

Author's summary: Grant awarded for 3D printing research.
