Biorobotics is, the main theme of our research. We research embedding physical intelligence into mechanical systems by smart design, materials, processing and manufacturing with the purpose of improving or extending the system’s capability. In particular, we are interested in applying this theme into the development of novel biomedical devices and a paradigm shift of traditional

Project Description: More energy reaches the earth every hour from the sun than human civilization uses in a year. Although tremendous progress has been made in improving the affordability of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules, challenges in terms of storage remain, given that batteries can be expensive and short-lived. An alternative is to capture sunlight as

Our research program covers a wide range of materials science disciplines, with a general focus on the formation and study of nano and microstructures through self and directed assembly. Materials containing structure on these length scales have been found to exhibit interesting and important electrical, optical, mechanical and biological properties. We often use and develop

The scientific motivation driving the work in my research group is unraveling complexity in reacting systems. We recognize that macroscopic observations are linked to microscopic phenomena, and analysis spanning these regimes provides the best opportunity for fundamental understanding and development of novel engineering strategies. The systems that we study, however, are sufficiently complex that the
