My research develops multifunctional fiber systems that integrate electrical, thermal, fluidic, sensing, and energy-storage capabilities within lightweight and flexible architectures. By combining advanced fiber manufacturing with hierarchical material design, I investigate electrically conductive fibers, fiber-shaped energy storage devices, Joule heating, electro-thermal coupling, active liquid cooling, and chemical sensing. These multifunctional fibers are designed to simultaneously manage energy and heat while providing environmental sensing capabilities, enabling applications in wearable electronics, high-power electronic systems, intelligent structures, and next-generation thermal management. 

My research advances sustainable manufacturing strategies for converting polymer waste into high-value carbon materials and functional structures. I investigate the transformation of waste plastics into carbon nanotubes, graphitic materials, and fiber-based architectures, together with scalable processing approaches for integrating recycled carbon materials into structural, electrochemical, and multifunctional applications. By connecting waste conversion, materials processing, and end-use performance, this research aims to establish circular manufacturing pathways that reduce material waste and environmental impact while creating high-performance materials for energy and engineering applications.
