Research

Look deep into Nature, and then you will understand everything better  – Albert Einstein

The intent of the pursuits in development of soft matter is to bring era of soft age, where technological advancements bring the Bionics, Cyborgs, Lifelike Robotics, Miniaturized Self-diagnosing and Self-medication tools, Tissue-like soft interfacing Biomedical devices and Self-curing electronic skins from the realms of science fiction to real-world. Societal benefits are the vital goals of our research.
