My reserach is highly multidisciplinary spanning nanotechnology, material research, additive manufacturing, robot design, device engineering, and percision healthcare.
In particular, I utilize wearable and implantable bioelectronics to facilitate synchronized communications between the user and next-generation soft robots, progressively intergraing towards a seamless human-machine interface.
Employing unique nanocomposties technologies and novel fabrication techniques, this interface enables reliable closed-loop feedback systems and operates adjustable robots that are simultaneously manipulative and analytical, responding to optimal stimulation.
