professor in-charge: prof. jinlian hu
posts available: phd students and postdoctoral fellow
the laboratory focuses on unearthing scientific principles and providing solutions to key problems in healthcare of wearable materials in four major areas: traditional chinese medical therapies and their materials, energy materials and healthcare, personal protective equipment against infectious diseases as well as spider silks and their relatives as biomaterials. as such, we apply advanced methods including custom-made wearable electronics as basic tools to examine materials, their application methods, and particularly their interactions with human body in terms of physical, chemical, biological, physiological and informational relations. from the discoveries and models of basic research, applied investigation, product developments and standardization are envisaged, which can produce societal as well economic impact in addition to scientific advances.
