Research Expertise: Sensors and Sensing Materials; Composites; MEMS/NEMS; Micro- and Nano-electronics; Nanotechnology; Nanomaterials; Wearable Electronics

Our group studies materials, devices, and systems at the micro- and nano-scale. Our primary research interests are in the areas of polymer composites, nanomaterials, microsensors, wearable electronics and sensors, and nanotechnology. Our group has been investigating nanoparticle-enhanced polymers as cryogenic dielectrics, functional nanomaterials as sensors and energy harvesters, and flexible electronics and sensors for healthcare applications.
