Our research is focused on the mechanics and chemistry of soft materials including both synthesized polymers and biological tissues. We aim to understand and model large deformation, instabilities, fracture, fatigue, chemo-mechanical coupling, electro-mechanical coupling in diverse soft materials. We also explore engineering applications of soft materials, such as artificial muscle, soft robots, soft machines and biomedical devices.
