Technologies Studied in the Laboratory:

The following technologies can be learned in Yoshida Laboratory. We teach them in depth in the laboratory and graduate classes, and plan to add accessible explanations here. Please check back later. Asking ChatGPT or Gemini can also be a useful way to study.

Organic electronics, bioelectronics, bio-MEMS, semiconductor microfabrication, printing technologies, flexible electronics, wearable electronics, skin electronics (E-skin), cyborg technologies, biofuel cells, hydrogel batteries, microneedles, electroosmotic flow, soft robotics, cell culture, organic polymers, aerogels, porous materials, neural engineering and skin engineering.

Skills in semiconductor microfabrication, cell culture and analysis, and chemical synthesis and analysis
