关于举行圣地亚哥加州大学王德利副教授

学术报告的通知

时间：2012年9月5日上午10点

地点：光电楼2楼大教室

主讲人：圣地亚哥加州大学王德利副教授

报告题目：Artificial Retina and “SENES” – Human-Machine Interfacing at Nano and Macro Scales

主讲人简介：Deli Wang received his B.S. degree from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in Polymer Chemistry in 1990. From 1990 to 1996, Deli worked on organic nonlinear optical and electro-optic (EO) polymers at Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry (CIAC), Chinese Academy of Sciences. Deli Wang earned his Ph.D. in 2001 in the Materials Department of University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) with dissertation on the fabrication of novel biosensors using organic light emitting polymers. He then worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University on semiconductor nanowires based nanoelectronics. Deli joined University of California – San Diego in 2004 and now is an associate professor in the department of electrical and computer engineering. His research interests are on nanoscale materials, devices and system, renewable energy, and human-machine interfacing. Deli has pioneered in conjugate polymer biosensors, nanowrie heterostructures, nanowire photodetector, solar cells, photoelectrochemical cells, and human touch recording and reproduction. Deli has published 58 journal articles (with a total citation > 6,400 times) and holds 10 issued or pending patents.

报告摘要：Nanomaterials offer unique properties and device functions, enabling human-machine interfacing at unprecedented levels. In this talk, I will first present the functional interfacing between nanowire devices with neurons at molecular level, and discuss the use of Si nanowire array based artificial photoreceptors to directly stimulate ganglion cells and as subretinal prosthetic devices with sensitivity beyond human eyes for sight restoration. The second part of the talk will focus on a novel SENES system (pronounced sense), which records, stores, and replays touch contact and pressure (for the first time), using a ZnO nanocrystal thin film transistor pressure senor array and an elastomer actuator array. The ability to record, store, and replay touch information enables an additional dimension to digital technologies and extends the capabilities of modern information exchange with the potential to revolutionize physical learning, social networking, gaming, e-commerce, and robotics.
