#Robots move with extraordinary precision. But when something starts to slip, they often realise too late.
Humans handle this effortlessly with our fingertips.
Our Nature Materials paper explores how robots could too. @eng.cam.ac.uk @aria-research.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
This fun project has so much potential! We are now trying to use the plastic #spectrometer for an interesting computational #sensing application. Stay tuned!
π€Our Departmentβs news on the ARIA robot dexterity project: we already have two PDRAs and are in the process of hiring a technician to support this exciting work. Donβt forget to apply for the third PDRA position! Deadline 29th June: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/51600/
A story on our stress-engineered broadband #plastic #spectrometers www.science.org/doi/10.1126/.... This SMP material platform offers many exciting opportunities for future development of inexpensive, AI-enabled computational light detection systems.
With Prof Zongyin Yang, we engineered stress in polymers to make a low-cost, broadband (400-1600nm) computational #spectrometer. And it is on the Front page of @ScienceAdvances! #Spectroscopy #Photonics #AIoptics. Read it here: doi.org/10.1126/scia...
Super excited to be a part of ARIAβs #dexterous #robot program! Our #sensors will allow future robots to detect force magnitude, direction, sliding, texture, and temperature, achieving unprecedented #dexterity and precision! @cambridge-ee.bsky.social @eng.cam.ac.uk
Cool paper π
Congratulations to Professor Chu π
Imagine a future where paper-based #memristor can not only processes data but be reconfigured for synaptic plasticity and neuronal leaky integrate-and-fire functionality and even #recyclable. Our #inkjet-printed memristors take a step towards sustainable electronics. @cambridge-ee.bsky.social
Great company and fantastic scientific discussions towards future indoor #VOC #sensors! Started the final stretch of the @UKRI_News #DIVINE project - a very productive meeting today!
Preparing my 2025 Day of Light outreach lectures, I bought a glass sphere and made a rainbow. But I saw some odd things, and so hereβs a thread with some photos and raytracing pictures. There may well be mistakes so tell me and I'll fix them. First the basic setup showing the primary bow.
This is a super cool work. Tailored mechanical response in a 3D architected material, perfect for tailored mechanical responses! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Thank you. I was a DL for 2024. Already finished my βassignmentβ. I went to mostly Asia and Europe.
Thank you IEEE Photonics Society for the cool plaque. Most importantly, for giving me the fantastic opportunity to talk about #spectrometers at 11 locations, 10 countries. Made many new friends, and future collaborators! If you are thinking about applying, go for it!
Celebratory cake highlighting 2024 achievements!

Interested in joining us in Cambridge Engineering? This year I am supporting applications in computational gas and environment sensors, mechanical metamaterials, broadband metasurfaces, porous materials & 2D electronics. Please email or message by the end of January. #academicsky @eng.cam.ac.uk
How about old coins? I just got back my childhood collection that included some Victorian era ones (I know, not that old!)
Would be the coolest lab in the world π€£
First few hours into our three-day cruise to the #Sundarbans. Zoom in and look at the dense mesh of rivers and canals everywhere π #bangladesh
Date juice / date palm sap, or khejur rosh (ΰ¦ΰ§ΰ¦ΰ§ΰ¦° ΰ¦°ΰ¦Έ ). Tried this heavenly drink after almost 20 years and it instantly transported me to my childhood! #bangladesh #winter #bangladeshi-cuisine en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_ju...
Just came across an African Butterfly Wing #Painting for the first time! Amazing! Exquisite! Made from #butterflywing collected from the ground π¦
π€£π€£π€£. Worked out even better cause you donβt check π¦ as often.
If you are in Dhaka, join me on Dec 24 for my first-ever technical talk in Bangladesh! Iβll briefly talk about my career, and then switch to miniaturising optical #spectrometers & future opportunities in this field. My final talk as a IEEE Photonics Society Distinguished Lecturer.
