Soft Photonics & Electro-optics Lab
We engineer soft materials such as liquid crystals, polymers, and elastomers into next-generation tunable and flexible devices that control LIGHT, ENERGY, and MOTION.

Soft-material devices that sense their environment and reshape themselves: from strain-tunable structural colors to smart windows, artificial muscles, and AI-optimized designs.
Chiral liquid crystal photonics whose reflection and lasing wavelengths tune with strain, field, and temperature, plus nW-power LC-integrated silicon photonics.
IR-selective reflection and guest-host dimming devices for adaptive thermal management and light control.
DEA, LCE, and PVDF artificial-muscle platforms for soft grippers, wearable robots, and medical microactuators.
FDTD, multiphysics FEA, and machine learning combined into experiment–simulation feedback loops for inverse design.
Our research has been featured on the covers of leading journals in photonics and materials science.
