Tao Yuan
Postdoctoral Researcher
I work on micro/nano 3D printing, functional glass and ceramic microstructures, and reconfigurable microrobotic systems.

Start here
From material design to functional microstructures.
My research explores how high-resolution additive manufacturing can transform photosensitive precursors into functional glass, ceramic, and reconfigurable microstructures. This website brings together the research directions, selected publications, and academic experience behind that work.
Research direction
Explore two-photon polymerization micro/nano printing, 3D printing of functional inorganic materials, and emerging research directions.
Selected work
Read selected work on silica glass microstructures, silicon oxycarbide ceramics, nanoporous glass, and adaptive helical microswimmers.
Academic identity
Review my education at USTC and Soochow University, together with my current postdoctoral appointment at PolyU.
