Keynote Speakers & Committee

Dr. Norhayati Soin received the B. Eng. (Hons) degree in electrical and electronics engineering from the Liverpool Polytechnic, United Kingdom (1991), MSc degree in Microelectronics Engineering from Liverpool John Moores University, United Kingdom (1999), and PhD degree in Electronics and Systems Engineering from National University of Malaysia (2006). She is currently a Professor at the Electrical Engineering Department, University of Malaya, Malaysia. Her current research focuses on reliability of semiconductor devices/integrated circuit and MEMS sensor, and development of flexible and printable electronics devices.

Norhayati Soin leads the VLSI Reliability Research Group and Center of Printable Electronics at University Malaya, a research centre with cutting-edge facilities solely dedicated to the design, development, and fabrication of printed electronics devices for various novel applications. She has been awarded IEEE Senior Member and currently is the past Chair of IEEE Electron Device Society Malaysia Chapter. Her work has been published in more than 150 papers in journals and proceedings locally and internationally. Dr. Norhayati Soin is a regular reviewer for many high-ranked journals (including IEEE Transaction of Electron Devices, IEEE Access and Elsevier Science Journal). She is the principal investigator and co-investigator for various local and international research and industry grants (UM grant, CREST, FRGS, TRGS, Science Fund, British Newton Fund) on different topics ranging from IC reliability to the development of flexible multi-sensors patch for healthcare applications.

The demand for printed, flexible and stretchable electronics is growing fast. The rapid expansion in smart wearable and integrated electronic devices has stimulated demand for advanced  smart systems with high performance, micro size, high reliability, mechanical flexibility, and high-temperature stability for application as flexible and stretchable displays, personal health monitoring, human motion capturing, smart textiles, electronic skins, flexible energy source and others. The main requirement for these applications is flexibility and stretchability, as these devices are subject to various mechanical deformations including twisting, bending, folding, and stretching during operation.

The development of printed, flexible and stretchable conductors over the last decade has resulted in commercialization of flexible and stretchable sensors for various applications, circuits, displays, and energy harvesters for next-generation wearables and soft robotics. These systems must be able to conform to the shape of and survive the environment in which they must operate. They are typically fabricated on flexible plastic substrates or are printed/woven into fabrics.

This presentation will cover the development of current printable, flexible and stretchable devices using advanced materials. The research activities at Center of Printable Electronics. Universiti Malaya will also be highlighted.
