My main research focus is additive manufacturing applications in dentistry which covers a wide range of dental materials including CoCr alloy powder, Ti-alloy powder, dental ceramics, and dental resins used for 3D printing. I have also conducted preliminary research on 3D bio-printed bone structures.
