The Millennium Café is returning for the fall semester with more exciting interdisciplinary presentations. Mark your calendars, 10-11am, every Tuesday, in the 3rd floor Café Commons of the Millennium Science Complex Bldg. Join researchers from across campus for a stellar cup of coffee and two <10 min interdisciplinary talks.
A Standalone Stretchable Device Platform for Health Monitoring
Huanyu Cheng | Engineering Science and Mechanics
Practical applications of the next-generation stretchable electronics hinge on the integration of low-cost, scalable sustained power supplies with highly sensitive on-skin sensors and wireless transmission modules. This talk presents the challenges, design strategies, and novel fabrication processes behind a potential standalone stretchable device platform that (a) integrates with 3D curvilinear dynamically changing surfaces, and (b) dissolves completely after its effective operation. The resulting device platform creates application opportunities in fundamental biomedical research, disease diagnostic confirmation, healthy aging, human-machine collaboration, and smart Internet of things.
The Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences, Post-pandemic
Andrew Read | Director, Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences
Hoping that title does not tempt fate. I will discuss nascent strategic initiatives that we are currently nurturing and what we are learning in the process. We are actively seeing ideas for the next big thing (s).
