Although complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) based electronics have revolutionized our daily life, newer areas such as flexible bioelectronics, wearable sensors and robotic interfaces would require advances in new semiconductors and local energy harvesting. To this end our research has focused on organic electronics which are fabricated from molecular semiconductors and have the advantages of printability and intrinsic flexibility. This makes them highly promising for various wearable and integrated electronic devices.

In order for these new electronic devices to have a translational impact, one needs to also develop processes that allow for scalable fabrication of devices as well as design integrated architectures with the final implementations in mind. Our group is also focusing on efforts to develop scalable fabrication processes as well as their integration with energy harvesting sources.
