Fabrication & actuation

Fabrication & microactuation

FIB-based fabrication, ion-induced folding and actuation of silica origami structures.

My fabrication experience includes ion-induced folding of silica structures, focused ion beam processing, lithography, physical vapor deposition and wet and plasma etching. My doctoral work combined fabrication with microassembly, characterization and actuation of origami structures at an optical fiber tip.
