Research direction

With the rapid development of optoelectronic technology, the way of information acquisition and processing is undergoing a profound change from "centralized sensing and processing" to "distributed intelligence and real-time sensing and control". In a complex environment, how to achieve efficient collection, precise regulation and intelligent interaction of multi-source information has become the core challenge of building a new generation of perception system and realizing the deep integration of human, machine and environment. The traditional rigid optoelectronic devices are limited by the shape and function, which has been difficult to meet the application requirements of flexible, dynamic and multi-dimensional perception. In this context, "flexible electronics and intelligent sensing" as a new interdisciplinary research direction integrating optoelectronics, materials science, micro nano manufacturing process, biomedical engineering and other disciplines, is committed to developing intelligent optoelectronic devices and systems with flexible stretch ability, optoelectronic collaborative sensing ability, and multi physical field response characteristics, breaking through the boundaries of traditional sensing methods, and enabling key application scenarios such as future health care, intelligent wear, flexible robots, environmental monitoring, and human-computer interaction. The device should not only have accurate "sense" and fast "control", but also have wide "adaptability" and deep "integration", so as to realize high-precision, low-power and real-time response to weak, biological and dynamic signals in complex environment.
The team is committed to developing a new generation of flexible electronics and intelligent sensing and control technology, and building a multifunctional sensing and control system with optoelectronic technology as the core for multiple application scenarios such as wearable, biosensor and environmental monitoring. Through the lab on fiber technology, functional materials and micro nano structures are integrated inside and outside the fiber to realize the collaborative sensing of optical, thermal, electrical, force and other physical field signals, and develop high-sensitivity, high-resolution fiber integrated multimodal intelligent devices; Furthermore, a stretchable optoelectronic system suitable for complex deformation environment is constructed by combining the design of elastic conductor, biocompatible materials and flexible structure for real-time health monitoring and human-computer interaction; At the same time, the high-precision optical detection means and lab on chip microfluidic chip technology are deeply integrated to create an integrated biosensor platform with dynamic sample processing ability and multimodal readout; New two-dimensional materials, topological optical structures and artificial intelligence aided design methods are introduced to promote the evolution of devices to higher dimensional response, higher integration and stronger intelligence. This direction relies on the coupling process of "light electricity matter life" in principle and mechanism, forms a unified "material structure function" logic at the device level, realizes the closed-loop linkage of "acquisition processing feedback" of information at the application level, promotes the continuous evolution of intelligent sensing and control system to a higher dimension, stronger flexibility and stronger environmental adaptability, and lays the foundation for the construction of "light driven intelligent interconnection of all things".
