Smart and Connected Soft Bioelectronics for Advancing Human Healthcare

W. Hong Yeo
Assistant Professor of George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering, Director of the IEN Center for Human-Centric Interfaces and Engineering
Georgia Institute of Technology

When: Friday, April 2, 3:00pm to 4:15pm.
Location: Zoom
Host: Pilgyu Kang

Abstract:  In this talk, Dr. Yeo will discuss the fundamental study in soft materials, flexible mechanics, nanomanufacturing, machine learning, and system packaging to develop nanomembrane-based smart and connected soft electronics. He will also talk about how fundamental science and knowledge can be applied to create various types of wearable soft electronics. Afterward, he will share application examples of wearable soft systems as portable health monitors and machine-interfacing sensors/electronics. Details of a device design, manufacturing, optimization, signal processing, and classification will be shared at high levels.
