He leads a research team that is developing a novel nanofluidic sensor system for cancer diagnostics and humanmachine interfaces via skinlike electronic systems. He developed a specialty in fundamental and applied nanomechanics, soft materials, biomolecular interactions, and nanomicro fabrication with an emphasis on biointerfaced nanoengineering.

As a professor in the School of Engineering, an associate member at Massey Cancer Center, and a member of the Center for Rehabilitation Science at Virginia Commonwealth University, he leads a research team that is developing a novel nanofluidic sensor system for cancer diagnostics and humanmachine interfaces via skinlike electronic systems. He developed a specialty in fundamental and applied nanomechanics, soft materials, biomolecular interactions, and nanomicro fabrication with an emphasis on biointerfaced nanoengineering. He strongly believes in, and shares with his students about his personal philosophy, “Be An Engineer to Change The World!”
