My primary research interest lies in investigating materials and structures that can be effectively utilized and processed in the manner that is cost-effective, environmentally friendly, sustainable, and scalable. This pursuit aims to create affordable and sustainable technologies that address challenges within the healthcare field. The Wu lab focus on developing innovations having the above-mentioned features, such as in eco/bioresorbable electronic/microfluidic devices, biosensors, and energy storage solutions designed for applications in health monitoring and disease treatment.

Research Areas:

• Electroactive Biomaterials
• Biosensors
• Electronic Textiles
• Wearable Electronics
• Eco/bioresorbable Devices
• Stretchable Electronics
