Principal Investigator: Professor Shiming ZHANG (Assistant Professor from Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering)
This project is showcased in the third exhibition – Technology for Future.
Research interests:
WISE’s ongoing research is to use a bottom-up strategy (materials-manufacturing-devices-integrations) to develop a transferable organic biosensing platform for molecular biosensing, wearables and implantables, targeted drug delivery, imaging, and neuroelectronics, with the purpose to improve the quality of life. At the same time, we focus on developing low-carbon manufacturing technologies, and the use of green organic materials to develop sustainable electronics for health innovation.
In parallel, our research is contributing to shaping a new research direction: soft iontronics (softronics), where elastic iontronic conducting polymers and hydrogels are combined to resolve the unmet biomedical challenges of tomorrow. Our research creates new knowledge of soft bioelectronic devices, which enables us to understand better the communication that occurred at the abiotic/biotic interface and to develop novel neuromorphic synaptic transistors that can be stretched.
