This project introduces a parallel mechanism for upper-limb prosthetic wrists. Our offset Kresling-origami-inspired structure generates rotational wrist motion passively, reducing the number of actuators.
In this work, we employed screw theory to derive both its forward and inverse kinematics. The system achieves quasi-spherical mobility while remaining lightweight and tendon-driven, ideal for amputees with trans-radial loss.
This work was done under Prof. Woon-Hong Yeo’s supervision as part of the I2P coursework during my 2nd year as an undergraduate student.

ACS Applied Electronic Materials 2022
Under Prof. Woon-Hong Yeo’s supervision, I worked on various flexible and stretchable sensing systems for physiological monitoring. These projects include intracranial pressure sensing system, sweat-and-microfluidics-based ion selective sensing system, and wearable electromyogram (EMG) system.
In this highlighted work, we developed a flexible two-lead ECG sensing system, incorporating a breathable elastomer, designed for extended wear.

A Bio-Inspired Platform for Soft Materials
What does your morning look like? A cup of coffee? A hot shower? Well, that’s certainly what mine looks like, followed by a curated three-step skincare routine as soon as I step out of that steamy shower. You see, it’s nice to have hydrated skin. A properly hydrated skin is soft and elastic to the touch. But have you ever wondered, “what makes hydrated skin so soft and tender”? After all, hydrated skin isn’t wet skin. So why do we call it hydrated skin, and what happens to the water as it holds space in our skin? The inspiration for hydro-softening comes from the hydration-softening mechanism of the mammalian skin, a naturally soft yet mechanically resilient biomaterial.
