Wenzhuo Wu, Associate Professor, School of Industrial Engineering, Purdue University
The seamless and adaptive interactions between functional devices and their environment (e.g., the human body) are critical for advancing emerging technologies, e.g., wearable devices and human-machine teaming. I will discuss our recent progress in developing human-integrated sensors through the hybrid nanomanufacturing of heterostructured devices based on versatile nanomaterials (e.g., 2D semiconductors, biomass-derived materials, etc.). This new class of wearable devices is conformable to skins and can sustainably perform non-invasive monitoring of a broad spectrum of signals from the human body (e.g., mechanical, chemical, etc.). This research could have a positive impact and immediate relevance to many societally pervasive areas, e.g., telehealth, consumer electronics, and robotics.
