His current interests are the fabrication, manufacturing, and interaction techniques of unconventional electronics for ubiquitous sensing, actuation, and energy harvesting, at times exploring the creative interplay between art, design, science, and engineering. The integration of soft electronics into common materials results in various applications ranging from health and well-being, rehabilitation, human-computer interfaces, interactive media, to immersive-built environments. He has been working closely with textile and flexible electronics factories, making a strong connection between research and manufacturing.
