Research Areas

Laser Microfabrication

LAMP Lab (Laser Applications and Materials Processing Lab) is a multidisciplinary research group dedicated to advancing precision material processing at micro and nano scales. The team explores cutting-edge interactions between light and matter, enabling high-resolution structuring, patterning, and modification of diverse materials. Their work combines theoretical modelling, experimental techniques, and application-driven innovations to develop solutions for electronics, photonics, biomedical devices, and material science. With a strong focus on ultrafast optics, phase transformations, and non-linear effects, LAMP Lab continues to push the boundaries of optical processing technologies.

Research in this area focuses on developing novel methods for fabricating microchannels, textures, and functional features on different materials including metals, ceramics, and polymers.
