Soft & Integrated Systems Lab
Soft & Integrated Systems Lab
We develop adaptive materials, robotic systems, and advanced manufacturing technologies that bridge mechanics, electronics, and intelligent physical systems. Our work translates these technologies across scales into applications including aerospace systems, microrobotics, thermal management, wearable devices, and advanced robotic platforms.
Adaptive Robotics
We develop bioinspired robotic systems using shape-changing materials for adaptive motion, programmable interaction, and multifunctional operation across terrestrial, underwater, and extreme environments.
Soft Microsystems
We create soft and flexible microsystems including wearable electronics, microfluidic platforms, energy harvesters, and multifunctional thin-film devices enabled by advanced soft materials and microfabrication.
Advanced Manufacturing
We develop transfer printing and heterogeneous integration technologies for scalable fabrication of 3D MEMS, flexible electronics, and next-generation multifunctional microsystems.
The lab is actively recruiting curious and motivated PhD students interested in soft robotics, intelligent materials, MEMS, and advanced manufacturing. We welcome students from diverse engineering and scientific backgrounds who are excited about hands-on experimental research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and developing next-generation adaptive systems.
