DESCRIPTION:Prof. Sheng Xu\, Assistant Professor\, University of Californi
 a\, San Diego\, CA (USA)\nBIOENGINEERING SEMINAR\n \nAbstract:\nSoft elec
 tronic devices that can acquire vital signs from the human body represent 
 an important trend for healthcare. Combined strategies of materials design
  and advanced microfabrication allow the integration of a variety of compo
 nents and devices on a stretchable platform\, resulting in functional syst
 ems with minimal constraints on the human body. In this presentation\, I w
 ill demonstrate a wearable multichannel patch that can sense a collection 
 of signals from the human skin in a wireless mode. Additionally\, integrat
 ing high-performance ultrasonic transducers on the stretchable platform ad
 ds a new third dimension to the detection range of conventional soft elect
 ronics. Ultrasound waves can penetrate the skin and noninvasively capture 
 dynamic events in deep tissues\, such as blood pressure and blood flow wav
 eforms in central arteries and veins. This stretchable platform holds prof
 ound implications for a wide range of applications in consumer electronics
 \, sports medicine\, defense\, and clinical practices.\n\nBio:\nProfessor 
 Sheng Xu was appointed in July 2015 as a member of the faculty in the Depa
 rtment of NanoEngineering at UC San Diego. Xu was a postdoctoral research 
 associate in Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory from 2011 to 20
 15 at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, where he developed adva
 nced wearable electronic systems for healthcare and energy applications. H
 e received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering in 2010 at Georg
 ia Institute of Technology\, and was the recipient of the 2011 IUPAC Prize
  for Young Chemists for his Ph.D. research on oxide nanowire arrays for en
 ergy sciences. He obtained his B.S. in Chemistry and Molecular Engineering
  from Peking University in Beijing\, China in 2006. \n\nRecent publicatio
