Research Vision


  • Innovate next-generation smart textiles that can chemically, optically and electrically respond to various environmental stimuli.
  • Wearable wireless sensors that can be used to detect heart rate, dehydration, metabolites
  • Performance enhancement fabrics that can harness energy (heat, vibrations, sound)
  • Clothing that can repel water when it rains but attract water in dry climates
  • Light-sensitive fabrics that can regulate temperature
  • Flexible skins for robotic applications
  • Fabrics that can be used for transdermal delivery of pharmaceuticals
