Transfer Printing Technologies and Applications

Changhong Cao is the Director of the McGill Nano Factory, and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, at McGill University, in Quebec, Canada. His research activities focus on the development of printing technologies (2D and 3D), mechano-electrochemical studies of energy storage materials, as well as synthesis, assembly, and multi-scale characterizations of low-dimensional materials. Dr. Cao was a recipient of the Microsystem and Nanoengineering Outstanding Young Researcher Award (2020) and has authored publications in premium journals such as Science Advances, Nano Letters, and ACS Nano. Dr. Yu Sun is a Professor at the University of Toronto. He holds a Tier I Canada Research Chair and is the founding Director of Robotic Institute at the University of Toronto. His Advanced Micro and Nanosystems Laboratory specializes in developing innovative robotic and AI technologies for reproductive medicine. His techniques have been applied in clinical centers from multiple countries.
