Research

Working at the interface of materials, mechanics, and bioengineering, the LI Lab pursues innovative design and precision manufacturing to create biointegrated materials and devices that enable precise recording, understanding, and modulation of biological systems. We are particularly interested in applying these technologies to interrogate complex nervous circuits and microbial activities.

We envision that such biointegrated technologies will reshape the connections between the synthetic and biological worlds, leading to new solutions for both Human and Planetary Health

Work in our lab can be broadly divided into the following interconnected domains:
