Biography

The Ni group aims to realize human-oriented materials intelligence through the combination of soft electronics and digital metamaterials. These materials can sense human signals and adapt their functional properties according to human actions and status. The technical approach combines epidermal electronics, advanced sensing, body mechanics, and micro/nanomechanics to create closed-loop programmable matter. The research focuses on developing digital-physical interfaces for the dynamic control of material properties across a full spectrum of mechanical and acoustic processes.
