About

My research aims to understand mechanical and multiphysical behaviors of nanomaterials through in-situ experiments and explore their device applications based on their unique properties. In particular, we are interested in nanomaterial-enabled soft electronics and soft robotics and their application in digital health and cyber physical systems.
