We work on challenges related to the design and engineering of soft actuators, wearable devices, and soft robotics, with focuses on:
-
Applications of wearable robots to healthcare and physical rehabilitation, particularly to conditions related to edema
-
Design of novel morphology, soft material mechanical sensors with the ability to tailor or select a particular deformation
-
Scalable fabrication approaches for multifunctional and active materials
-
Design of origami-inspired, self-sensing soft actuators
