DESCRIPTION:Prof Zijian Zheng\nAbstract\nSoft electronics plays an importa
 nt role in the realization of health monitoring and rehabilitation\, Inter
 net of Things (IoTs)\, and soft robotics. In the past two decades\, the re
 search focuses have been devoted to developing soft electronics based on t
 hin film materials and architectures that are non-permeable to air\, moist
 ure\, and liquid. It is recently found that permeability is essential to t
 he chronic biocompatibility of these soft devices\, especially those close
 ly attached on soft skins and tissues. This talk will discuss our research
  effort on developing soft and permeable electronics for wearable\, skin-a
 ttached\, and implantable applications. We will discuss the development of
  fibrous conductive materials\, and their applications as building blocks 
 for fabricating highly flexible\, foldable\, stretchable\, and permeable e
 lectronic devices and systems. We will also discuss how high-performance f
 lexible and wearable energy harvesting and storage devices are fabricated 
 with these fibrous conductive materials.\n\n\nBiography:\nProf. Zijian Zhe
 ng is currently Chair Professor of Soft Materials and Devices at the Depar
 tment of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology\, Associate Director of R
 esearch Institute for Intelligent Wearable Systems\, Lead Investigator of 
 Research Institute for Smart Energy at The Hong Kong Polytechnic Universit
 y (PolyU). His research interests include surface and polymer science\, na
 nofabrication\, flexible and wearable electronics\, energy conversion and 
 storage. Prof. Zheng received his B. Eng. in Chemical Engineering at Tsing
 hua University in 2003\, PhD in Chemistry at University of Cambridge in 20
 07\, and postdoctoral training at Northwestern University in 2008-2009. He
  joined PolyU as Assistant Professor in 2009\, and was promoted to tenured
  Associate Professor in 2013 and then Professor in 2017. He has published 
 more than 200 papers in journals such as Science\, Nat. Mater.\, Nat. Comm
 .\, Adv. Mate.\, JACS\, Angew. Chem.. He also files more than 40 patents a
 nd is recipient of more than 15 academic awards. He serves as Editor-in-Ch
 ief of EcoMat (impact factor: 12.213)\, a flagship open-access journal in 
 green energy and environment published by Wiley. He is Founding Member of 
 The Young Academy of Sciences of Hong Kong (2018)\, Chang Jiang Chair Prof
 essor by the Ministry of Education of China (2020)\, Senior Research Fello
 w of the University Grant Commission of Hong Kong (2021)\, Fellow of Inter
 national Association of Advanced Materials (FIAAM\, 2021)\, Fellow of the 
 Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC\, 2022).
