Scalable E-Textile Manufacturing and Semiconductor Chip Integration for Smart Fabrics
We are developing scalable manufacturing and semiconductor integration technologies for electronic textiles (e-textiles) and smart fabrics. Our research focuses on integrating conductive interconnects, semiconductor chips, sensors, and functional electronic components directly into textile structures while maintaining mechanical flexibility, conformability, and wearability.
The objective is to bridge conventional textile manufacturing and semiconductor packaging technologies, enabling the fabrication of large-area electronic textiles for wearable sensing, healthcare, industrial monitoring, and human-machine interfaces.
About Binghamton University
Binghamton University is a large, comprehensive public research university in the State University of New York system. Industry collaborates on campus through an advanced technologies complex with shared labs and prototyping facilities, and a health sciences campus adjacent to regional hospital partners. A downtown incubator and maker spaces connect faculty and startups with suppliers and manufacturing in New York’s Southern Tier, while co-op and internship pathways build talent pipelines for corporate R&D. Research is supported by competitive federal funding from agencies such as NSF, NIH, DOE, and DoD, with additional state and industry sponsorship. A dedicated technology transfer office streamlines IP protection, licensing, and startup formation.
