I am the CEO and co-founder of LumiStrain, a startup offering novel technology for mechanical strain mapping. I earned my M.S. and Ph.D. in Civil Engineering at Rice University, specializing in using carbon nanotubes as strain sensors. Passionate about leveraging microscale solutions for macroscale challenges, I continued my research as a postdoctoral scholar, working to improve the safety and performance of structures through advanced testing and monitoring.LumiStrain’s innovative technology, called Strain-Sensing Smart Skin (S4), leverages single-walled carbon nanotubes as microscopic strain sensors embedded within a specialized polymer coating. This film forms an ultra-thin, transparent, and protective coating on the structural surface, creating a responsive skin that can sense strain. By directing a laser beam onto the film and capturing hyperspectral images of the nanotube fluorescence, our method can swiftly and accurately measure high-resolution, full-field strain maps of the structure.
