• Swarming nanorobots

    Robots at micro/nanometer scale will allow access throughout the whole human body and interaction with the biology systems at single cell resolution.

  • Soft neural interfaces

    Soft bioelectronic interfaces can monitor and modulate the natural spatiotemporal dynamics of chemical and electrical signaling process without interfering with the physiology of soft and moving organs such as the brain, the nerves, the skin, and the gut.

About the LI Lab

The LI Lab aims to engineer biologically interfaced machines, specifically miniaturized sensors and robots, which can seamlessly integrate and precisely interact with the biological systems, towards precision, ubiquitous, and affordable healthcare infrastructure.

We are particularly interested in fundamental sciences leading to new sensing and actuation principles, by exploring the spaces between traditionally different fields.

We also seek to develop scalable manufacturing methods to translate these inventions into ubiquitous diagnostics and therapeutics. Examples of our work include soft bioelectronic neural interface for sensing neurotransmitters and hormones, microscale robots for targeted medicine delivery, and soft robots for safer human-machine interaction.
