We envision soft electronic microfluidic systems that leverage mechanics, microfluidics, acoustofluidics, and bioelectronics to precisely manipulate, monitor, and control biological and chemical microenvironments. By integrating compliant materials with programmable fluidic and acoustic interactions, we engineer multifunctional platforms for biochemical analysis, organoids, organ-on-chip technologies, and microscale therapeutic systems. These technologies establish new opportunities for precision diagnostics, disease modeling, and next-generation biointegrated healthcare.
We envision mechanics-informed circulatory systems that integrate biomechanics, biointegrated electronics, and advanced experimental methods to better understand and engineer cardiovascular function. By investigating flow–structure interactions, hemodynamics, and transport phenomena across multiple length scales, we develop implantable and minimally invasive technologies that interact seamlessly with the dynamic circulatory environment. These systems establish new opportunities for cardiovascular sensing, therapeutic intervention, and next-generation biointegrated medical devices.
We envision mechanics-driven wearable systems that exploit the biomechanics of the human body as an active design principle for next-generation biointegrated electronics. By integrating soft electronics, experimental biomechanics, computer vision, and mechanics-informed engineering, we investigate and engineer the complex interactions at the skin-device interface across diverse motions and physiological conditions. These systems establish new opportunities for continuous health monitoring, adaptive human-machine interfaces, personalized therapeutics, and seamless integration between electronics and the human body.
We envision interactive haptic systems that enable intuitive communication between humans and machines through the sense of touch. By integrating soft actuation, mechanics-informed design, and quantitative human perception, we investigate how mechanical stimuli are generated, transmitted, and interpreted across the human body. These insights establish new opportunities for immersive extended reality, teleoperation, human-robot interaction, and next-generation human-machine interfaces.
