Present Research Activities: Solid-State Sensor and Flexible Electronics

Using solution-processed organic and oxide semiconductor materials to develop low-temperature flexible transistors and sensors. With an emphasis on incorporating micro/nano structure or forming composite active layer to improve device property. Sensor works include photo sensors and the chemical/bio sensors for medical applications. Closely collaborate with medical doctors to do animal experiments and clinical trials. Particularly developing gas sensors to meet unmet clinical needs such as the non-invasive real-time breath detection for patients with chronic kidney disease or diabetes.
