Dr. Wei-Chen Huang obtained her BS, and MS degree in Materials Science & Engineering from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University in 2009. She joined Delta Electronics Ltd as a chemical engineer from 2010 to 2011. Wei-Chen received her PhD degree at Materials Science & Engineering in NYCU in 2015. From 2015 to 2017, Wei-Chen was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Materials Science and Engineering of Carnegie Mellon University in the United States. Then she served as a faculty in Taipei Medical University as an Assistant Professor in the Graduate Institute of Biomedical Materials and Tissue Engineering from 2017 through 2019. From 2019 through 2024, she served in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) in NYCU as an Assistant Professor. Currently, she is an Associate Professor in ECE department.

    Dr. Huang’s recent research includes the development of bioconformal smart electronics applied for invasive/non-invasive prosthetics, drug delivery electronics, and biosensors. She laid the foundation on creating a variety of organic/inorganic composite materials that can replace typical electronic materials in the application of implanted neural electrode and wearable chemical/physical sensors for EEG/ECG/EMG/ECoG sensing, electrical stimulation with improved biocompatibility and signal transduction quality. The electronic devices can even allow controlled drug/gene/growth factors delivery to for both diagnosis/therapy. Wei-Chen's group is also targeting on pathfinding of eco-friendly, facile, cost-effective, and scalable device microfabrication process such as transfer printing, 3D printing, and screen printing process. The team's achievement is the representative of interdisciplinary combination that includes device design/fabrication, heterogeneous integration of soft transducer/electrode and circuit systems, biological responses, signal processing and final data collection/analysis.
