Nowadays, the traditional face-to-face diagnosis mode between patients and doctors has not been able to meet people's growing demand for health care, and the traditional diagnosis mode needs to be further improved in the utilization efficiency of time and resources, which all give a huge challenge to the health care industry. Compared with traditional electronic devices and systems, flexible electronic devices have the characteristics of ultra-thin, low modulus of elasticity, light weight and good tensile properties. They have wide application prospects in consumer electronics, biomedicine and many other fields. Especially as a flexible electronic device for medical health detection and monitoring, it has become an important academic research frontier to measure various signal changes in human activities. This talk will first introduce the important breakthrough of flexible electronic technology in recent years, then introduce the progress of Prof. Ren’s group in graphene flexible electronic research. Finally, the prospect of wearable flexible electronic technology will be given.
Prof. Ren is Vice Dean of School of Information Science and Technology of Tsinghua University. He got his Ph.D. from Department of Modern Applied Physics, Tsinghua University in 1997. He has been full professor of Institute of Microelectronics of Tsinghua University since 2003. He was visiting professor at Department of Electrical Engineering of Stanford University from 2011 to 2012. Prof. Ren’s researches are focused on the intelligent sensor and integrated system, especially on the practical graphene flexible devices. He paved the way for fabricating graphene in large scale with low cost. Prof. Ren greatly broaden graphene’s application in wearable sensor, acoustical device, memory, and synapse transistor. Prof. Ren has published over 600 journals or conference articles, including Nature Electronics, Nature Communications, Energy & Environmental Science, Advanced Materials, ACS Nano, Nano Letters, IEEE Electron Device Letters, IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, IEEE Sensors Journal, and 14 IEEE IEDM papers.
