"Prof. Tzu-En Lin is a pioneer in flexible electronics, advancing sustainable healthcare solutions through scanning electrochemical probes and MXene-based sensor technology."


Dr. Lin is a PTOT junior chair professor known for her contributions to the field of flexible electronics, particularly in the domains of paper electronics and soft-probe scanning electrochemical microscopy (soft-probe SECM). She received her Ph.D. from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland, under the mentorship of Prof. Hubert Girault. Prior to that, she earned her B.S. degree from National Taiwan University (NTU), laying the foundation for her impressive academic journey.

 

Dr. Lin's academic pursuits have taken her around the world, including a stint as a visiting scholar at Stanford University under the guidance of Prof. Gerald Fuller. Subsequently, she pursued postdoctoral research both at EPFL, continuing her work with Prof. Girault, and later at NTU, under the guidance of Prof. Wei-Fang Su.

 

One of Dr. Lin's notable achievements is her groundbreaking work on "AI-Assisted Fusion of Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy Images Using Novel Soft Probe." This pioneering research successfully integrated SECM with AI technology, earning the prestigious distinction of being featured on the journal supplementary cover of ACS measurement Au. Another significant contribution to her credit is her research on ' Monitoring Tyrosinase Expression in Non‐metastatic and Metastatic Melanoma Tissues by Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy,' published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition. This work garnered substantial attention from various media outlets, including Swiss Radio & TV.

 

Dr. Lin's earlier work on 'Banana and skin cancer' gained global recognition, with widespread coverage by prominent media outlets such as BBC, Arte (European TV), and RTS (Swiss TV). In addition to her work in scanning probe technology, she has dedicated herself to advancing the field of paper electronics and microneedle development using “Mxenes”, a group of remarkable two-dimensional materials known for their exceptional conductivity and biocompatibility.

 

Looking ahead, Dr. Lin remains committed to furthering her research in the development of novel MXene-based electronics and the application of sustainable chemistry in the realm of wearable healthcare devices. Her tireless dedication and remarkable contributions in these domains continue to make her a notable figure in the world of academia and scientific innovation.
