Michael Sotzing works on engineering materials for storing and generating electrical energy, particularly polymer-based dielectric films and flexible devices. His research covers how these materials behave under high voltage and high temperature, and how they can be used to build energy-harvesting devices such as nanogenerators for wearable or self-powered electronics. This work sits at the intersection of materials science and electrical engineering, with applications in energy storage and flexible/wearable power sources.
