"Pioneers in soft ionic-electronic materials and devices."
- Atoms-to-Systems Lab
Mission:
- The Atoms-to-Systems Lab advances the frontier of soft ionic-electronic materials and devices.
About us:
- Directed by Prof. Derek Ho, we are leaders in sensors and energy storage devices, two focuses linked by our fundamental expertise in ionic-electronic materials synthesis and device fabrication. We work at the intersection of materials, electronics, mechanical, and biomedical engineering.
Areas of expertise:
Affiliations:
- Department of Materials Science and Engineering, City University of Hong Kong
- Hong Kong Centre for Cerebro-Cardiovascular Health Engineering
Technologies:
- Materials include ionic hydrogels, elastomers, polymer composites, and MXenes. Our projects typically involve three aspects:
-
Materials synthesis using soft chemistry
-
Mechanistic investigations
-
Stretchable electronic device fabrication
Applications:
- Wearable sensors and energy storage, for industries such as healthcare, robotics, electronics, garment, and security.
Openings (view details):
- Postdoc fellows: Available year round
- PhD students: Dec 1 deadline yearly, but recommend full online application by mid Nov.
