DESCRIPTION:Prof. Lei Wei\, Nanyang Technological University\, Singapore\n
 Thermally Drawn Advanced Functional Fibers for Wearable Electronics\nTherm
 ally drawn multi-functional fibers have emerged as a new yet promising rou
 te to enable unprecedented development in information technology. By adopt
 ing the well-developed preform-to-fiber manufacturing technique\, a broad 
 range of functional materials can be seamlessly integrated into a single f
 iber at kilometer length to deliver sophisticated functions. Here\, we pre
 sent the recent development of thermally drawn advanced functional fibers\
 , from the fundamentals to in-fiber device demonstration. Especially\, the
  integration of semiconductor materials into fiber geometries provides a u
 nique route to introduce new functionalities into the existing fiber techn
 ologies. The main fabrication approaches to produce these fibers are summa
 rized. Also\, the prospects and applications of this new class of fibers a
 re discussed.\n\n	Reference to 2 papers that are central / most important 
 to your talk. This helps students to prepare and dive into your subject de
 eper.\n\n\n\n	J. Zhang\, T. Zhang\, H. Zhang\, Z. Wang\, C. Li\, Z. Wang\,

 r at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. He currently serves as
  the Director of the Centre for Optical Fibre Technology (COFT) at Nanyang
  Technological University.  He received the B.E. degree from the Wuhan Un
 iversity of Technology in 2005 and the Ph.D. degree from the Technical Uni
 versity of Denmark in 2011. Then he joined the Massachusetts Institute of 
 Technology as a postdoctoral associate. In 2014\, he joined the Nanyang Te
 chnological University in Singapore as a Nanyang Assistant Professor. In 2
 019\, he was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure. His main researc
 h interests are fiber-based devices\, multi-functional fibers\, bio-fiber 
 interfaces\, and in-fiber energy generation and storage. He also serves as
  the chairman of the IEEE Photonics Society Singapore Chapter and the chai
 r of the Optica (formerly OSA) Singapore Section.\n
