Embedded system and applications
This project aims to develop a soft, flexible electronic system - either implantable or wearable - that integrates commercial or customized sensors and actuators to capture electrical or mechanical signals from or within the body. The collected data can be processed either on-chip or on a server equipped with AI, enabling diagnosis and generating real-time feedback signals for the user. Specifically, the system is designed to identify disease related signals that may be embeddd within unrelated biosignals.
<Device level>
Flexible and stretchable device
This project advances silicon nanomembranes for the development of wearable and implantable devices. Previously, silicon nanomembranes have been utilized in high-density neural interfaces and mechanical sensors, owing to their unique combination of mehcanical flexibility and semiconductor properties. Building on the theses advantages, this project aims to further enhance device functionality. For instance, we explore the heterogeneous integration of multiple active layers to expand capabilities and develop transparent silicon nanomembrane-based sensors to minimize visual obstrusiveness in wearable applications
<Material level>
Functional composite materials
This project integrate functional nanoparticles into various matrices to create stretchable or transient composite materials for applications in wearable and green electronics. The functionality of these materials is highly dependent on both the characteristics of the nanoparticles and the matrix, enabling the final product to exhibit properties such as electrical conductivity, magnetic responsiveness, or water dispersibility. For example, embedding manetic particles into cellulose paper enables the development of a water-dispersible transient soft robot, which can be rapidly controlled using an external magnetic field.
