Current Projects

soil project

Printed Biodegradable Sensors for Monitoring Soil Conditions

Printed sensors based on biodegradable materials for monitoring conditiions in soil, such as soil nitrate concentration and soil moisture content.

ions sap project

Printed Ion Sensors for Monitoring Plant Sap and Hydroponic Fluids

Printed multianalyte ion sensors based on organic electrochemical transistors for monitoring ion concentrations (such as potassium, nitrate, and phosphate) in whole plant sap and hydroponic fluid.

decomposition project

Printed Microbial Activity Sensors

Printed sensors for in-situ determination of microbial decomposition activity in soils and other living media by monitoring rates of biodegradation of electronic materials.   

gels

Printed Hydrogel-based Implants for Monitoring Plant Conditions

Development of printed self-healable, gel-based electronic systems and their use as tissue implants for monitoring plant health. 

arpae 2 project

Printed Sensors for Monitoring Nitrous Oxide Emissions from Soils

Integration of multianalyte printed soil sensors, including pH, oxygen content, ion concentration, and enzyme concentration to determine nitrous oxide-based greenhouse gas emissions from soils. 

Turbines

Printing for Advanced Wind Turbine Generators

Printed componentry for electric machines in order to reduce the size and mass of generators using advanced automated design and cooling techniques.

Past Projects

Functional 3D Printing for Space Applications

Using 3D printing to fabricate functional objects, such as multifunctional material gas sorbent devices, in reduced gravity for space applications.

Flexible Electronics for Controlling Soft Robots

Printed and flexible electronic devices for controlling soft robotic systems based on hydraulically amplified self-healing electrostatic soft actuators.

Wearable Devices for Accessibility and Performance

Wearable sensor-based devices based on textiles and other wearable materials for monitoring human performance and providing interfaces to assist those with disabilities.
