BiographyWe are a highly-interdisciplinary team that seeks to develop wireless functional systems, which can seamlessly and imperceptibly interact with our bodies wherever whenever. To achieve such goal, we purse fundamental and engineering innovations on sensing, manufacturing and system integration to incorporate advanced functionalities into soft, irregular and biocompatible objects. We work closely with clinicians, life scientists and industries to demonstrate innovative bioelectronic tools to address important scientific and engineering challenges on digital health and human-machine interaction. EducationProfessor, Mechatronic Engineering, South China University of Technology, from Feb 2023 Research Fellow, Electrical Engineering / iHealthtech, National University of Singapore PhD, Mechanical Engineering, Nanyang Technological University BEng/MS, Mechanical Engineering, South China University of Technology Admission InformationWorkExperienceSocial PositionResearch AreasIntelligent Manufacturing for Soft Electronics To integrate advanced functionalities into a wearable platform, we exploit fundamental, engineering and algorithm innovations on manufacturing process. We are particularly interested in seamlessly incorporating wireless sensing, powering, and communication functionalities within soft, irregular and biocompatible objects, such as hydrogels, textiles and biomedical devices.

Soft Medical Sensors Human body is a dynamic, complex and interactive biological system. To reliably collect physiological and molecular signals without interferences, such as, from surrounding environment and motion artifact, we design noise-immune and self-adaptive sensors via innovations in sensing mechanisms and architecture designs.

Wireless Body Area Networks To establish interation between our body and surrounding, networks of wireless battery-free sensors are used for whole-body mapping of electrical, mechanical, thermal and chemical activities. We develop electromagnetically functional clothing capable of establishing wireless power and data connectivity between multiple distant points around the body to create wireless battery-free sensor networks that can monitor our body wherever whenever.
