The Weck Lab's interests lie at the intersection of photonics, materials science, chemistry, and surface engineering. We use ultrafast lasers to texture the surface of materials to control properties such as colours, wettability, chemical reactions, and biocompatibility. We also use these lasers for high speed micro-machining, fundamental laser-matter interaction studies, and to induce artificial defects (crack and voids) to investigate fracture mechanisms.

The WeckLab is committed to building an equitable, diverse, and inclusive research team. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds, genders, and experiences, ensuring a collaborative and innovative environment!
