Biography

Yuan Lin is currently a Professor at School of Materials and Energy, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. Dr. Lin received her Ph.D. degree in Condensed Matter Physics from University of Science and Technology of China in 1999. After that, she had worked in the University of Houston and Los Alamos National Lab as a postdoc, and in Intel Corp as a senior engineer. In 2008, she joined the faculty of University of Electronic Science and Technology of China as a Yangtze River Scholars Distinguished Professor. Dr. Lin is active in the field of electronic thin films and devices. Her main research interests are focused in the development of various thin films (such as ferroelectric oxide, vanadium oxide and other oxides) for applications in electronic devices, especially in stretchable and flexible electronic devices.

Abstract for Presentation

Flexible Electronic Devices for Biomedical Applications

Flexible bioelectronics have attracted increasing interests because they can provide conformal contact and seamless interactions with humans, which would find huge applications in real-time in-situ health monitoring and disease diagnosis. Among them, flexible electronics based on inorganic thin-films are rapidly developed due to the advantages of mature processibility and rich physicochemical properties of inorganic materials. In this talk, I will briefly introduce the development of flexible inorganic thin film devices and present some examples of their applications in biosensing and non-pharmacological stimulation treatments, such as sensors integrated on contact lens and electromechanical synergistic dressing[1]. Challenges and opportunities for future flexible bioelectronics will also be discussed.
