Research Interests

​Functional additive manufacturing, printed and flexible electronics, transient electronics, bioelectronics, distributed sensing

Our research in the Ìýis focused at the intersection of additive manufacturing, novel materials and functional devices. We are interested in using printing as a method to fabricate unconventional electronic components and systems that can be readily customized, mechanically flexible/conformable, large area, widely distributed, biocompatible and/or controllably transient.

Societal Impact

Through our research we are developing new ways to making things that enables distributed methods of manufacturing and provides a route to more pervasive functionality.Ìý Our research addresses applications in a wide range of fields including agriculture, human health, energy and space exploration.

Background

Gregory Whiting joined the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ in 2017. Prior to joining CU, he worked in industrial research for a decade, including at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center and Google[X]. Dr Whiting received aÌýPhD from the University of Cambridge in 2007 and BS from the University of California Berkeley in 2002.Ìý
