Polymer design, synthesis and processing.

The Carlini Group synthesizes structurally dynamic biomaterials, which are integrated into wearable/implantable devices for closed-loop medical surveillance and therapeutic drug delivery.

Organic and inorganic materials for electronic and photonic applications

Semiconducting and metallic polymers with focus on high mobility field effect transistors and low cost “plastic” solar cells.

Ultrafast optical spectroscopy, scanning probe microscopy, physics of nanostructures.

Organic semiconducting materials for molecular electronics and optoelectronic devices.

The goal of our research is to develop robust and efficient synthetic approaches to functional materials, with a focus on the design and development of light-responsive materials and development of new methods to access well-defined polymers and biomaterials.

Bioelectronics at the nano scale, including the study of enzyme catalysis and development of new generation of biosensors.

Haptic engineering, robotics, and the mechanics and neuroscience of touch.
