Research Interests
Bioelectronic Materials for Advanced Medical & Environmental Systems

(1) We study the characteristics of bioelectronic materials, such as bioresorbable metal, semiconductors, polymers, and hybrid combinations of them. In all cases, we explore new schemes of manipulating, processing, and engineering materials - often at the ultimate limits - to enable new functionalities and properties.

(2) Our current research focuses on bioelectronic materials for medical implants, energy harvesting, and environmental monitoring, all lately with an emphasis on bio-integrated and bio-inspired technologies. These efforts are highly multidisciplinary, and combine expertise from nearly every traditional field of technical study.
