Flexible and wearable electronics
Designing sensors, conductors, and integrated systems that maintain performance while bending, stretching, and conforming to complex surfaces.
What we investigate
Research
We develop soft materials, adaptive interfaces, and manufacturing methods that connect rigorous materials science with human-centered applications.
Research philosophy
Connecting structure, mechanics, and function
Our research begins with a fundamental question: how can materials and devices interact seamlessly with complex, dynamic environments? We combine materials design, mechanics, fabrication, and device engineering to investigate this question across multiple scales.

Five directions
A focused, interdisciplinary program
Biointerfaces and epidermal electronics
Developing thin, soft, skin-compatible platforms for sensing, stimulation, monitoring, and seamless interaction with the human body.
Smart adhesion and stiffness-variable materials
Creating adaptive systems that actively tune stiffness or adhesion in response to physical, electrical, thermal, or environmental inputs.
Printed and additive manufacturing
Exploring digital fabrication, functional inks, and process–structure relationships for rapid, scalable production of multifunctional devices.
Sustainable electronics
Investigating responsible material choices, reduced-waste processes, recoverable components, and device architectures designed for circularity.
