I am now hiring a postdoc.
Graduate students Im Deok Jung and Yunhan Huang join the group, as well as BS/MS students Tom Miller and Justin Pearse.
New publications are out on patterning PDMS, ion transport in PPy, and conformational relaxation. Also, links to pdfs of journal articles have been added to the site.
A new page on our nastic actuators has been added to the site. Also, our patent on this technology just issued.
New book just published!
