My research integrates textiles with nanogenerators to develop smart textiles that harvest energy from body movements while capturing health and motion data. I investigate textile-based energy harvesting, an emerging area within wearable electronics that converts mechanical energy into electrical power. When we were kids, many of us experienced the familiar scientific phenomenon of rubbing a balloon on our heads and watching it attract small pieces of paper, a result of static charges. In my research, I harness this very phenomenon to generate electrical signals.
