Soft Intelligent Materials Laboratory
By utilizing analytical, numerical, and experimental tools, we study the functional responses of the intelligent materials that are subject to external stimuli such as stress, temperature, light, chemical, electric, or magnetic fields. Applications include soft actuators, soft robotics, flexible electronics, morphing structures, biomedical engineering, and sustainable energy.
