CurrentWorking under the supervision of Dr. Dorina M. Opris in the Laboratory for Functional Polymers. Our research is focused on soft materials for dielectric elastomer transducers, for energy conversion, energy harvesting, sensing and soft robotics application. We work on high permittivity polysiloxane dielectrics, conductive & stretchable electrodes, high energy density composites as well as processability of these materials through additive manufacturing.Two recent open access publications… Show more Working under the supervision of Dr. Dorina M.
