Flexible electronics are circuits and systems that can be bent, folded, stretched or conformed without losing their functionality. These electronics involves a mix of elements such as logic, memory, sensors, batteries, antennas, and various passives which may be printed or assembled on flexible substrates. Combined with low-cost manufacturing processes, and discoveries needed to improve performance and reliability, flexible wearable electronics can present an entirely new paradigm for a wide range of electronics used in SPORTS, health care, consumer, automotive, aerospace, energy, defense, as well as many other applications.

Flexible Wearable Electronics Advanced Research at the Georgia Institute of Technology is a campus-wide, multidisciplinary research, development, manufacturing, educational, and workforce development initiative, involving a large number of a faculty, engineers, graduate and undergraduate students from various schools, colleges, research centers and institutes.  The program members work with other educational institutions, industry, and government agencies developing and implementing new technologies and manufacturing methods for Flexible Wearable Electronics.
