Explores soft electrically-driven actuators for robotics and haptics, focusing on electrostatic actuation principles and the development of soft actuators using various materials.
Delves into the theory of material activation, proposing a unified mathematical framework to model how multiple stimuli can produce changes at the macroscopic level.
Explores self-sensing cantilevers in Scanning Probe Microscopy and the advantages of integrated sensor-actuator systems for high-speed data collection.
Explores autonomously moving and assembling soft matter systems, focusing on hydrogel actuators, latch-mediated spring actuation, and self-spinning filament bundles.
