(Research Objective):
Development of battery-free/sustainable, future light-emitting devices

(Key Research Areas):
• Mechanoluminescent (ML) devices (e.g., Wind-driven display)
• Free-form electroluminescent (EL) devices (e.g., Stretchable or 3D-constructible display)
• New concept, wearable light-emitting devices (e.g., battery-free light-emitting fabric)

(Research Overview):
My research focuses on advancing soft light-emitting devices, with two main areas of study:
Mechanoluminescence: We explore soft composite materials that emit light when touched, pressed, or pulled. This has potential for applications like wearable lighting textiles, wind-powered displays, and advanced anti-counterfeiting technologies.
Novel Electroluminescent Structures: We develop innovative structures with embedded electrodes to improve luminous efficiency and durability. These designs create stable, durable displays that can function in extreme conditions like boiling water or icy environments, making them ideal for outdoor use.
