"Pioneers in soft ionic-electronic materials and devices."
- Atoms-to-Systems Lab
​
Mission:
- The Atoms-to-Systems Lab advances the frontier of soft ionic-electronic materials and devices.
​
About us:
- Directed by Prof. Derek Ho, we are leaders in electronic sensors and energy storage devices, two focuses linked by our fundamental expertise in ionic-electronic materials synthesis and device fabrication. We work at the intersection of materials, electronics, mechanical, and biomedical engineering. We are obsessed with rapid innovation, applying new techniques to new applications, and making our findings accessible through clear explanation.
