Biography

My career and personal goal is to impact human healthcare and create translational products while positively influencing students’ lives for as long as possible.

My research interests lie at the intersection of broad areas, including soft functional materials, advanced manufacturing, machine intelligence, and solid mechanics, with applications in biotechnology and medical engineering.

I'm specifically interested in understanding and designing soft materials with unprecedented mechanical properties such as extremely tough and strong, ultra-sensitive to stimuli, programmable, biocompatible, and bioactive to interface humans and machine and their intelligence.
