Darren Lipomi awarded NSF BRITE to use materials science to study touch

Congratulations to nanoengineering professor Darren Lipomi, whose lab has received an NSF BRITE Award to use stimuli-responsive materials to understand mechanosensation inside and outside the body.

The NSF BRITE (Boosting Research Ideas for Transformative and Equitable Advances in Engineering) Award enables experienced researchers and scholars (tenured or equivalent) to forge new directions or to enter new fields by capitalizing or branching out of their established knowledge domains.
