Her research philo sophy revolves around promoting novel insights in chemical sciences by pus hing traditional boundaries and merging them with diverse fields. Her life long goal is to advance the field of bioelectronics and contribute to the development of innovative technologies that enhance human health\, well-be ing\, and quality of life. A key innovation in her research is emphasis on addressing the biochemical dimension within the realm of bio-integrated e lectronics: In contrast to the well-established and commercialized systems for monitoring biophysical signals such as electrophysiology and oximetry \, the exploration of biochemical signals is still in its early stages in current research endeavors. Achieving optimal functionality in these sensi ng schemes demands a holistic understanding of biochemical interfaces\, tr ansducers\, and their intricate electrochemical coupling strategies. Cente red on electrochemistry\, she has developed advanced analytical methods th at connect solution-sensor interfaces (enzymes\, aptamers\, ion-selective membranes) with thin-film materials/electronics (diodes\, field-effect tra nsistors\, fuel cells) to quantify biochemical signals. She established a unifying framework that facilitates the creation of various biosensing sch emes on demand\, achieved through the combination of bioreceptors\, interf ace materials\, and electronics. Her research outcomes have resulted in a broadly applicable biosensing framework at Ohio State\, enabling us and ou r colleagues to conduct diverse biosignal assessments tailored to specific scenarios.\n\nAdditionally\, her interdisciplinary background in chemistr y\, materials science\, and electrical engineering has enabled her to exte nd her research beyond fundamental science. She demonstrated integration s chemes for creating bio-integrated electronics\, such as neural probes and sweat patches\, that seamlessly interact with biomarkers\, including meta bolites\, ions\, and neurotransmitters\, in both animal models and human s ubjects. These systems successfully address long-standing limitations rela ted to form factor mismatch at the biotic-abiotic interface\, and have pro ven to reliably capture biochemical information continuously. By exploring various modalities\, including transient and long-term\, static and dynam ic\, wearable and implantable\, her research will ultimately result in the development of engineering tools for monitoring multiple bio-signals thro ugh stable integration with biosystems.\n\nAside from her focus on healthc are\, her group has discovered a method that enables creation of biosensor s in a sustainable manner. These include: (1) Designing regeneratable allo steric nucleotides as bioreceptors for sensors\; (2) Establishing miniatur ized actuators that control the local chemical environment\, facilitating sensor regeneration through electrochemistry\; and (3) Realizing on-chip r egeneration through the integration and feedback between sensors and actua tors. This thrust provides a realistic route for minimizing resources/reag ents and preventing environmental pollution.\n\nDr. Jinghua Li is an assis tant professor of materials science and engineering\, beginning in Septemb er 2019. Prior to joining Ohio State\, she worked as a postdoctoral fellow with Professor John A. Rogers in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Northwestern University. Dr. Li graduated from Duke Univers ity in May 2016 with a Ph.D. in Chemistry. Her two focus areas are: 1) fun damental understandings on synthesis chemistry and interfacial properties of thin-film materials as bio-interfaces\; and 2) engineering efforts on a pplication of these materials for the next generation wearable/implantable biomedical devices to bridge the gap between rigid machine and soft biolo gy. Her faculty position is funded\, in part\, by the Discovery Themes Ini tiative in the area of Chronic Brain Injury\, which has promoted faculty h ires and support of critical materials needs in the areas of imaging\, dia gnosis\, and treatment of brain injury. Dr. Li supports the Center for Des ign and Manufacturing Excellence\, Nanotech West\, and the Center for Elec tron Microscopy and Analysis with her expertise in the function of biomate rials.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Biomedical Engineering\, Florida International University\n\nSpeaker(s): Jinghua\n\nAgenda: \n10 - 11 AM\, Oct 17\, 2025\ , Technical Seminar\n\n3 - 4 PM\, Oct 17\, 2025\, Professional Development Seminar\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/501034 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/501034 ORGANIZER:mpulugur@fiu.edu SEQUENCE:16 SUMMARY:Implantable and Wearable Electrochemical Sensors for Monitoring Cen tral Nervous System URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/501034 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 2. 0pt\; text-align: justify\; text-justify: inter-ideograph\; line-height: n ormal\;"><em><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'\,serif\;">Prof. J inghua Li <span style="mso-spacerun: yes\;">&nbsp\;</span>designs biochemi cal interfaces for living systems with her materials and electrochemical b ackground.
