, assistant professor of  in the at 51��Ʒ��Ƶ, was recently given a nearly $245,000 EAGER award by the National Science Foundation to study a for directly growing tailored nanocarbons on flexible polymers.

The research will enable patterning functional nanocarbons needed for a number of emerging flexible-device applications in healthcare, energy and consumer electronics.

“The multi-billion dollar global market for flexible electronics is still in its infancy, and is expected to grow exponentially because of accelerating demand in many applications,” said, Bedewy, who also leads 51��Ʒ��Ƶ’s . “Exploring potentially transformative carbon nanomanufacturing processes is critical for realizing cutting-edge technologies.”
