Malakooti Research Lab

Our research program seeks to develop and conduct innovative research in the area of functional materials that harnesses structures and interactions at the nanoscale and molecular level to achieve a unique combination of properties at the macroscale. We am particularly interested in exploiting multiscale functional materials through bioinspired design and innovative fabrication techniques for compact integration of multiple functions in a single component. This multidisciplinary research exist at the intersection of solid mechanics, electronic materials, nanotechnology, and additive manufacturing. Immediate impact of our research efforts are innovations in the development of multifunctional composites, integrated nanoscale devices, electronic skin, and stretchable biosensors.
