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  

Flexible bioelectronics have attracted more and more interests since they can provide conformal  contact and seamless interactions with humans. Especially, with the rapidly growing demand of  real-time health monitoring as well as in-situ disease treatment, flexible functional thin-film  electronics play more and more important role. In this talk, I will briefly present some examples  of biomedical applications of flexible electronics, especially in non-pharmacological stimulation  treatments, such as electric or electromechanical stimulation devices implemented in synergistic  dressing, contact lenses, or dental aligner. Challenges and opportunities for future flexible  bioelectronics will also be discussed.
