The NanoProduct Lab (nanoproductlab.org), also known as the Bedewy Research Group, focuses on fundamental experimental research at the interface between nanoscience, biotechnology, and manufacturing engineering. We make basic scientific discoveries and applied technological developments in the broad area of advanced manufacturing at multiple length scales, creating solutions that impact major societal challenges in energy, healthcare, and the environment.

Advanced manufacturing research across multiple length scales

Molecular Manufacturing Nanomanufacturing Biomanufacturing Origami/kirigamibased Manufacturing Cybermanufacturing

Protein-based sustainable nanomanufacturing (e.g. using regenerated silk and interfacial protein assemblies)

Process-structureproperty relationship for nanomaterial fabrication, (e.g. nanotubes synthesis and nanoparticle selfassembly)

Medical device design, analysis and manufacturing (e.g. head immobilization devices for pediatric neurosurgery) Self-folding of shape memory polymers for complex 3D geometries (e.g. bidirectional folding of prestrained polystyrene sheets) Toward robust/secure manufacturing systems with connected cyberphysical components (e.g. analytics for process improvement)
