How can soft materials be made to grip, stretch or change shape on demand? The lab combines experiments and analysis to investigate relationships between material composition, geometry and programmed deformation. Research develops multifunctional materials through approaches informed by mechanics and biological systems. Documented applications include switchable adhesives, stretchable electronics, soft robots and adaptive structures. The work examines how mechanical behavior can be combined with other useful functions, connecting fundamental material properties with devices that must remain flexible while performing engineered tasks.
