My mission:
My mission:
To engineer robust bioelectronic platforms grounded in materials science and electrochemistry that enable precise sensing and localized therapy at complex biological interfaces. I focus on translating micro and nanoscale material innovations into integrated electronic systems that operate reliably in physiologically challenging environments, with the goal of advancing practical solutions for chronic infection management and gastrointestinal diagnostics.
