Personal profile
Research interests
I work at the intersection of soft robotics, biomaterials and medical engineering, building hydrogel- and elastomer-based soft robotic systems for healthcare and human function.
Research interests include, but are not limited to:
• Soft and functional elastomers, hydrogels and composites
• Soft implants
• Artificial muscles
• Biohybrid actuation
• 3D-printed hydrogels for soft robotic devices
