Biography:

The presentation will focus on stretchable and wearable electronics which represents a new wave in devices which can bend, flex, and stretch. My work seeks to transform conventional hard electronics into soft and unbreakable products, thin enough to create electronic skin. We realize thin electronic patches that adhere to the skin that can mimic body functionality, measure and diagnose, monitoring environment around, on, and within us. These next-gen stretchable electronics for a diverse range of current and visionary applications are being commercialized with industry. Examples include skin-worn sensors to warn people about harmful UV and nicotine levels, wearables for health monitoring, and nearables in bedding.
