Dr Hong (Woon-Hong) Yeo’s research includes fundamental and applied aspects of nanomechanics, biomolecular interactions, soft materials, and nano-microfabrication for nanomolecular sensing and unusual electronic devices, with an emphasis on bio-interfaced nanoengineering.
In this talk, Dr Yeo will present research works on skin-like electronic systems which investigate biomimetic materials, mechanics designs, and system integration, aiming for advancing human health and wellness. First part of his talk will be devoted to present mechanics and materials for designing of stretchable/flexible skin-like electronics. Afterwards, he will talk about biomedical applications of skin-like electronics for human-machine interfaces through electromyography (EMG), brain-computer interfaces through electroencephalography (EEG), and clinical study.
Dr. Hong (Woon-Hong) Yeo is a TEDx alumnus, mechanical / biomedical engineer and an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering and an associate member at Massey Cancer Center and Center for Rehabilitation Science and Engineering at Virginia Commonwealth University.
Dr. Yeo received his PhD in mechanical engineering at the University of Washington in 2011. Afterwards, he worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He received his BS in mechanical engineering from INHA University, Korea in 2003. He is a recipient of a number of awards, including NSF Summer Institute Fellowship, Notable Korean Scientist Awards, Best Paper/Poster Awards at ASME International Congress, and University of Washington Statira Biggs Scholarship.
All members of academic, technical and administrative staff are welcome to the seminar. RAs and postgraduates (PhD candidates and MSc students) are particularly encouraged to attend the event. For any further enquiries, please contact Dr Jim Ang (C.S.Ang@kent.ac.uk)
