Stephen Beeby
Professor of Electronic Systems & Device
The focus of my research is e-textiles and the development of materials and processes for integrating electronic functionality into otherwise normal fabrics. Electronic functionality covers a broad range of topics including energy harvesting and storage, wireless sensing and power transfer and printed circuits on yarns
