We develop soft biofluidic systems that leverage fluid mechanics, structural compliance, and active physical fields to understand and control biological flows across multiple length scales. By integrating computer vision, acoustofluidics, microfluidics, and mock circulatory loop platforms, we investigate flow–structure interactions, transport phenomena, and hemodynamics in both physiological and engineered environments. These insights enable the design of biointegrated fluidic systems for biomedical sensing, therapeutic intervention, and next-generation implantable technologies.
We develop wearable systems that leverage the mechanics of the human body to enable physical intelligence at the skin–device interface. By combining soft electronic design, biomechanical characterization, and vision-based measurement, we quantify the complex interactions between devices and human skin across a wide range of motions and environments. These insights guide the design of wearable platforms that are more adaptive, robust, and seamlessly integrated with the body.
We develop haptic technologies that enable intuitive communication between humans and machines through touch. By combining soft actuation, computer vision, and mechanics-based modeling, we investigate how mechanical stimuli are transmitted through the skin and perceived by the human body. These insights guide the design of energy-efficient and adaptive haptic systems for immersive interaction in virtual, augmented, and mixed reality environments.
