RESEARCH

We are a multidisciplinary group at the cross roads of engineering and biology. Our research explores materials, technology and integration of soft bioelectronic interfaces or electronics skins. We design and characterise stretchable materials and devices, and implement them in ultra-compliant circuitry and soft biointerfaces. The field of applications of Soft BioElectronics Interfaces is vast, ranging from novel user touch interfaces, robotic skins to long-term active neuroprosthesis.

ELECTRONIC SKIN

  • Engineered substrates for skin-like electronics

  • Thin-film transistors on elastomeric substrates

  • Compliant touch interfaces

SOFT NEURAL ELECTRODES

In vitro electromechanical platforms

  • Surfaces with controlled compliance to study cell biomechanics

In vivo electrode implants

  • 3D electrode interfaces for peripheral nerve repair

  • Compliant surface electrodes for auditory brainstem implants

  • Stimulating surface electrode arrays
