Rayne Research Group

Additive Manufacturing and Metamaterials

Welcome

At UC Berkeley, our team focuses on advancing additive manufacturing and processing technologies through innovative techniques that integrate mechanics, optics, and material science. We aim to create multifunctional materials and all-in-one devices with precise 3D architectures for various applications from energy transduction and storage, robotics, health care and structural applications. Our group’s research excellence and translational impact have been recognized through multiple prestigious honors, including the DARPA Young Faculty Award, DARPA Director’s Fellowship for Outstanding Projects, ONR and Air Force Young Investigator Awards, the NSF CAREER Award, as well as Bakar and AIC Awards for entrepreneurship, among others. Beyond research achievements, our group has a strong record of mentorship and academic leadership: more than 40% of our alumni have gone on to secure faculty positions at leading universities. I invite you to visit our research page for a snapshot of our current research activities.
