Yuanjing Lin

Yuanjing Lin’s research interests mainly focus on nanomaterial innovation for wearable and printable electronics, micro/nanostructured sensors, energy storage devices and their applications in integrated and flexible systems.

Based on the understanding of electrochemical materials engineering, she and her team developed a new type of nanoporous membrane and interpenetrating interface. By combining with a dendritic nanostructured sensor electrode, she developed electrochemical biosensors with simultaneous high sensitivity and stability. This significantly improved the sensitivity for micromolar level biomarkers analysis, such glucose and alcohol in sweat, all the while enabling continuous sweat monitoring for up to 30 hours.

For personal health monitoring, she has developed two types of monolithically integrated and flexible biosensor systems. One is a printable, self-powered sensor system on a single piece of flexible substrate. The other is an in-textile wristband that integrates multifunctional modules for wireless epidermal biosensing. These integrated systems can be used for reliable and wireless diet monitoring or medical intervention via epidermal analysis, and are expected to provide a new paradigm for the development of wearable devices for intelligent healthcare applications.
