About
Mickey Finn’s research sits at the intersection of flexible electronics, soft materials, and haptic interfaces, with a focus on creating devices that are both mechanically robust and perceptually rich. A key contribution is in the mechanical reliability of roll-to-roll printed solar cells, where Finn demonstrated their resilience under cyclic bending and torsion—work that has garnered 70 citations and underpins scalable, flexible photovoltaics. More recently, Finn has advanced haptic technology by developing a wireless multimodal glove that uses an elastomeric conductive block copolymer to generate virtual textures. This glove uniquely simulates three near-surface properties—hardness, temperature, and roughness—addressing a long-standing limitation in haptics, which typically excels at bulk rather than surface sensations. The 2020 paper on this work has earned 60 citations and marks a significant step toward realistic, immersive touch feedback. Finn’s research is notable for bridging materials science and human-machine interaction, producing devices that are not only functional but also durable and user-responsive.
