These sensors are also biocompatible, making them safer for prolonged use, and biodegradable, providing a sustainable alternative that reduces the environmental impact associated with the widespread adoption of wearable technology. Through this project, we aim to create a more user-friendly and eco-conscious solution for future sensor technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>pwinkre@ncsu.edu B.S., Chemical Engineering, 2022University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK Linkedin- https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/pedrohwr\/ Research Project: Hydrogel-Based Wearable Tactile Sensors Our research focuses on developing hydrogel-based wearable tactile&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":992,"featured_media":0,"parent":36,"menu_order":16,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2658","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cbe.ncsu.edu\/velevgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2658","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cbe.ncsu.edu\/velevgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cbe.ncsu.edu\/velevgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cbe.ncsu.edu\/velevgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/992"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cbe.ncsu.edu\/velevgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2658"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/cbe.ncsu.edu\/velevgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2658\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2661,"href":"https:\/\/cbe.ncsu.edu\/velevgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2658\/revisions\/2661"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cbe.ncsu.edu\/velevgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/36"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cbe.ncsu.edu\/velevgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2658"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
