Identity / Philosophy

I build wearable, sensing, biomedical, and self-powered systems — making latent energy and information accessible from the interface where a physical, chemical, or biological phenomenon occur, to a deployable platform that works in the real world. This requires integrating electronics, software, materials, and basic sciences among others as a unified methodology. The driving question is always the same: how do you engineer the interface to serve a real application reliably?

Functional Themes

  • Detect — Sensing Systems

Engineering interfaces that transduce physical, chemical, and biological phenomena into measurable signals — spanning electrochemical, optical, transistor-based, electromechanical, and other sensing principles.

Includes: electrochemical sensors, optical sensors, logic-enabled sensors, OFETs/EGOFETs, triboelectric sensing, resonant systems

  • Power — Energy & Autonomous Systems

Designing systems that generate, harvest, or store energy from their environment — enabling autonomous and self-powered operation without external power sources.

Includes: biofuel cells and battery systems, triboelectric nanogenerators, ion-selective electrochemical systems, chemically driven autonomous motion

  • Treat — Biomedical Systems (Therapeutic & Theranostic)

Developing systems with therapeutic functionality and theranostic capability — integrating diagnostics and treatment into unified biomedical platforms.

Includes: photodynamic therapy, electrical cell stimulation, nano-enabled theranostics, targeted drug delivery

  • Integrate — Deployable Platforms

Translating research-stage sensing and energy systems into functional, real-world platforms — combining electronics, materials, the basic sciences, and software into deployable solutions.

Includes: health monitoring platforms, smart textiles, point-of-care diagnostic devices, theranostic systems, wearable and portable sensing platforms
