Kim, S.H., Basir, A., Avila, R. et al. Strain-invariant stretchable radio-frequency electronics. Nature (2024).

We are actively recruiting Postdoctoral fellows, PhD students, Masters students and Undergraduate students to join the group and work on cutting edge interdisciplinary modeling projects together! 

About Us

We are interested in developing bioelectronic design concepts to yield ingenious mechanical capabilities with sufficient electromagnetic efficiency at the material-level and device-level for wireless signal sensing, mechanics manipulation, clinical imaging, and energy harvesting applications. 


We aim to develop a theoretical and computational framework to study the scalability, packaging, power limitations, tissue interactions and energy absorption in bioelectronic devices.
