- Material processing and fabrication techniques for functional surfaces including novel techniques such as 3D printing and self-assembly
- Surface modification and coating techniques for functional surfaces
- Hydro-, aero, ice-, and oleo-phobic/philic surfaces
- SLIPS (slippery liquid infused porous surfaces) and LIS (lubricant impregnated surfaces)
- Stimuli-responsive and adaptive materials and surfaces
- Self-healing/self-repairing materials and surfaces
- Surface engineering in energy applications
- Surface engineering in water-related applications
- Surface engineering in biomedical applications
- Surface engineering in optical and electrical applications
