Novel Actuators and Energy Storage Materials

Principal Investigator Ian Hunter

Co-investigators Lynette Jones , Serge R LaFontaine , Nora Hogan


Work on new designs and materials to store energy and convert it into a useful actions. Efforts are underway to custom design and assemble high-performance motors and haptic displays. We also are developing supercapacitors and other energy storage technologies in the laboratory. These Novel Actuators and Energy Storage Materials will enable advances in autonomous robotics, artificial organs and micro/nanosystems.
