DESCRIPTION:Prof. Yunlong Zhao\, Dyson School of Design Engineering\, Impe
 rial College London\, UK\n***Coffee and Sweets will be served at 13:00 in 
 the hall of BM 5202***\n\n\nAbstract\nThe enormous impact of the COVID pan
 demic\, together with other diseases or chronic health risks has significa
 ntly prompted the development and application of biosensors and bioelectro
 nics for real-time monitoring and diagnosing health status. However\, conv
 entional biomedical devices\, especially implantable devices\, still suffe
 r from low biocompatibility and high invasiveness. Developing new tools an
 d technologies that push the limits of spatial and temporal resolution\, e
 nhance functionality and sustainability\, and reduce invasiveness to the h
 uman body could produce breakthroughs in fundamental science and lead to r
 evolutionary technologies for biomedicine and healthcare. In this talk\, D
 r Zhao will present their recent progress in the development of flexible i
 mplantable and wearable electronics for the human-machine interface\, incl
 uding ultrafexiable microporous mesh electronics and integrated testing pl
 atforms for cellular interrogation and tissue deterministic regeneration\,
  nanotransistor integrated mesh sensor systems for multifunctional sensing
 \, and ultrasmall nanowire transistor probes for intracellular electrophys
 iology recording. To realize the sustained operation of bioelectronics\, f
 lexible power units with photo- or wireless-charging capabilities will als
 o be discussed.\n\nShort biography\nDr Yunlong Zhao is an Associate Profes
 sor at the Dyson School of Design Engineering\, Imperial College London\, 
 leading the Electrochemical and Bioelectronic Interface Group. He also hol
 ds a joint appointment at the National Physical Laboratory (UK) as a Senio
 r Scientist. Yunlong carried out his postdoctoral and doctoral research at
  Harvard University\, where he conducted research in bioelectronic devices
  and nano-bio interfaces. He also received his undergraduate and postgradu
 ate research training at the Wuhan University of Technology\, with a focus
  on electrochemical energy storage and electrochemical probing. He has dev
 eloped a series of novel energy storage devices\, sensors\, bioelectronics
 \, and their integration into 2D on-chip and 3D soft systems for the in-de
 pth studies of electrochemical energy storage and electrophysiology\, with
  over 100 publications published in peer-reviewed journals such as Nature\
 , Nature Nanotechnology\, Nature Materials\, etc. with a total citation ov
 er 11K. His current research interests include (1) Lab-on-a-chip and impla
 ntable devices for electrochemical and physiological interrogation\, (2) A
 dvanced electrochemical energy storage technologies for Sustainability and
  Net Zero\, (3) Wearable and implantable bioelectronics for Healthcare and
  the Human-Machine Interface\, and (4) Micro-power sources and bioelectron
 ics integrated 3D soft system.\n
