Research Areas

Stretchable ElectronicsEngineering rigid-to-soft interfaces that withstand large deformation, enabling robust, long-term stable stretchable electronics.

Multifunctional Soft MaterialsDesigning soft composites that integrate conductivity, stretchability, adhesion, and stimuli responsiveness, enabling soft electronics that sense, adapt, and endure in dynamic environments.

Liquid MetalsDeveloping gallium-based liquid metal conductive materials for next-generation flexible, stretchable, reconfigurable, and recyclable electronics.

Sensing and AIPairing physical and chemical sensors with AI for real-time health assessment, early disease detection, and beyond in intelligent wearable systems.

Wearable SensorsDeveloping conformal wearable sensors that adapt to dynamic surfaces, from human skin to plant tissue, for applications in healthcare, sports performance monitoring, and smart agriculture.
