Materials fabrication, materials processing

Biomaterials are materials designed for biological applications, and encompass a large assortment of soft materials. Often these materials are designed for a particular application. After defining the target chemical, electrical, and mechanical properties, we build, characterize, and assemble these materials to enable the desired application. Our group explores a variety of materials, such as alginate and GelMA, integrate chemical and electrical functionalities by using a wide array of nanomaterials, and introduce processing techniques compatible with the materials.
