DESCRIPTION:Prof. Nguyễn-Dang Tung\, College of Engineering and Compute
 r Science\, VinUniversity\, Hà Nội\, Việt Nam.\nOrganic mixed ionic
 -electronic conductors (OMIECs) are foundational for next-generation weara
 ble electronics due to their dual ionic and electronic transport. This tal
 k explores breakthroughs in material design and architecture leveraging OM
 IECs for highly sensitive\, low-power applications like organic electroche
 mical transistors (OECTs). As an example\, I will present the structure-pr
 operty relationships enabling dual transport and introduce a side-chain en
 gineering approach using perylene diimide trimers (hPDI). This transformat
 ion enhances both ionic and electronic conductivity\, enabling stable\, hi
 gh-transconductance n-type OECTs.  Another example that will be discussed
  is conjugated polyelectrolytes\, in particular PCPDTBTSO3-K\, or commonly
  known as CPE-K. This conjugated polyelectrolyte exhibits two-way coupling
  of ionic and electronic conductivity\, which allows for reversible electr
 ochemical doping\, enabling dual-mode transistors and high-performance sol
 id-state supercapacitors. I will also demonstrate that OMIECs provide a pr
 omising platform for unconventional flexible substrates. Using wet-chemica
 l processing\, we can pattern active channels on flexible polyimide or low
 -cost PCB substrates for dense biosensing arrays. Finally\, I will highlig
 ht a pathway toward "green\," self-powered wearable electronics combining 
 molecular semiconductor advances with flexible processing techniques.\n\nB
 io: Dr. Nguyen Dang Tung is an Assistant Professor at the College of Engi
 neering and Computer Science at VinUniversity and serves as the Director o
 f Career Service and Industry for the College. Since joining the universit
 y in August 2023\, he has led the Integrated Electronics group (https://ww
 w.intorlab.com.vn)\, which develops devices and manufacturing technologies
  using organic materials to address environmental and societal challenges.
  Currently\, the group focuses on developing multifunctional fibers and or
 ganic electrochemical devices. Notably\, the group established the first t
 hermal drawing tower for research in Vietnam and is pioneering the use of 
 AI for materials research. Prior to VinUniversity\, Dr. Nguyen-Dang studie
 d and worked at Ecole Polytechnique of Paris (B.A. and M.Sc. in Materials 
 Science)\, EPFL (PhD\, Materials Science)\, Saint-Gobain Company (Research
  Engineer) and UCSB (in CPOS). His major scientific contributions include 
 a method for creating micro- and nano-patterns on fibers and textiles\, a 
 framework for the conservation of shape during the design of functional fi
 bers (at EPFL)\, and the development of the first dual-mode organic transi
 stors—realized 50 years after the invention of their inorganic counterpa
 rts (at UCSB). For his research\, Dr. Nguyen-Dang has received E-MRS Stude
 nt Award (France)\, SNSF Fellowship (Switzerland) and Otis Williams Fellow
 ship (U.S.A.)\n \nVinUniversity (https://vinuni.edu.vn) is an English-med
 ium\, non-profit university located in Hanoi\, Vietnam. Established by Vin
 group\, the largest conglomerate in Vietnam\, VinUni aspires to become a w
 orld-class institution. VinUniversity has transitioned into a research-foc
 used university\, centered around three main research pillars: Planet\, Pe
 ople\, and Prosperity. \n
