2025

The evolution of contact lens technology is rapidly transforming these simple vision-correcting devices into advanced, multifunctional platforms. By embedding innovative sensor technologies onto contact lenses, it becomes possible to continuously monitor a person’s own well-being in a comfortable and non-invasive way. In this work, we explore the possibility of creating a multifunctional smart contact lens sensing platform that can one day help people easily track important health information, offering new ways to stay connected with their bodies without interrupting daily life.

​Tellurium-based materials (tellurides) are promising materials for p-channel transistors due to their compatibility with various elements and deposition methods. This versatility facilitates integration into diverse device architectures and enables the implementation of tailored electrical, thermal, optical, and structural properties. We investigate tellurium-based materials and their deposition techniques to optimize these multifaceted characteristics for advanced electronic applications.

Machine learning enabled spectrometry has the potential to revolutionize fields like agriculture, field biology, and chemical metrology by allowing the identification of different targets in space via a spectral fingerprint. For example, fields of diseased crops requiring pesticides may show different reflectance spectra compared to healthy plants. However, current methods using a standard spectrometer and off-chip computer must acquire, transmit, then process complete reflectance or transmittance spectra, known as a hypercube, for every point of interest in space. This is costly in terms...
