DESCRIPTION:Prof. John Rogers\, University of Illinois\, Urbana Champain\n
 Bio: Professor John A. Rogers obtained BA and BS degrees in chemistry and 
 in physics from the University of Texas\, Austin\, in 1989.  From MIT\, h
 e received SM degrees in physics and in chemistry in 1992 and the PhD degr
 ee in physical chemistry in 1995.  From 1995 to 1997\, Rogers was a Junio
 r Fellow in the Harvard University Society of Fellows.  He joined Bell La
 boratories as a Member of Technical Staff in the Condensed Matter Physics 
 Research Department in 1997\, and served as Director of this department fr
 om the end of 2000 to 2002.  He is currently Swanlund Chair Professor at 
 University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign\, with a primary appointment in
  the Department of Materials Science and Engineering.  He is also Directo
 r of the Seitz Materials Research Laboratory.\nRogers’ research includes
  fundamental and applied aspects of materials and patterning techniques fo
 r unusual electronic and photonic devices\, with an emphasis on bio-integr
 ated and bio-inspired systems.  He has published more than 400 papers and
  is inventor on over 80 patents\, more than 50 of which are licensed or in
  active use.  Rogers is a Fellow of the IEEE\, APS\, MRS and AAAS\, and h
 e is a member of the National Academy of Engineering.  His research has b
 een recognized with many awards\, including a MacArthur Fellowship in 2009
 \, the Lemelson-MIT Prize in 2011\, and the MRS Mid-Career Researcher Awar
 d in 2013.\nBiology is soft\, curvilinear and transient\; modern silicon t
 echnology is rigid\, planar and everlasting.  Electronic systems that eli
 minate this profound mismatch in properties will lead to new types of devi
 ces\, capable of integrating non-invasively with the body\, providing func
 tion over some useful period of time\, and then dissolving into surroundin
 g biofluids.  Recent work establishes a complete set of materials\, mecha
 nics designs and manufacturing approaches that enable these features in a 
 class of electronics with performance comparable to that of conventional w
 afer-based technologies.  This talk summarizes the key ideas through demo
 nstrations in skin-mounted ‘epidermal’ monitors\, advanced surgical to
 ols and bioresorbable electronic bacteriocides.
