Shuchen’s research focuses on laser–material interactions in functional layered materials, with particular emphasis on ultra-short pulse laser processing of transparent conductive films such as indium tin oxide (ITO) on glass and polymer substrates. Using a positivist, mixed-methods approach, Shuchen investigates how laser parameters influence material response, aiming to achieve high-precision structuring while preserving material integrity. Their work contributes to a deeper understanding of advanced manufacturing techniques across applications in electronics, sensors, and multifunctional surfaces.
