Our research focus on the mechanics of soft materials, with an emphasis on uncovering structure–property relationships across multiple length scales. We investigate how microscale architectures influence mechanical behavior, and we develop advanced manufacturing techniques alongside the design, fabrication, and application of functional soft materials. Our work aims to create innovative soft material systems with strong potential for translational engineering applications in emerging fields such as flexible electronics, biomedical devices, and soft robotics.

3 master students and 2 Ph.D. positions are available in both 2026 and 2027. Students with backgrounds in related fields are warmly invited to join our group!
