DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \n\nWearable or implantable biodevices enable continu
 ous health monitoring and diagnosis of diseases or conditions in a fast\, c
 ost-effective\, and accurate manner. These devices also allow the delivery 
 of therapeutics\, and subsequently create a new on-body realm of highly per
 sonalized medical treatment that can adapt to the dynamic nature of physiol
 ogical processes. However\, simultaneous control over the materials\, elect
 ronics\, and interface with the body\, which is required for safe and confo
 rmal devices\, has been difficult to achieve. In my research\, I work at th
 e intersections of materials design\, bio-inspired engineering\, nanomateri
 als assembly\, and microelectronics to overcome this challenge.\n\nIn this 
 talk\, I will first outline a materials and device strategy for developing 
 thermally switchable adhesives that interface wearable devices with the bod
 y. Implementing wireless control to modulate the adhesion strength of novel
  stimuli-responsive adhesives from a strong to a weak state eliminates the 
 risk of damage to skin during removal\, improving patient safety. Second\, 
 I will discuss a technique in which newly discovered liquid crystal phenome
 na are harnessed to assemble semiconducting carbon nanotubes into densely p
 acked\, highly aligned arrays\, enabling nanotube field-effect transistors 
 with unprecedented uniformity and performance across the wafer scale. These
  nanotube arrays enable high-performance logic and RF devices and promise t
 o lead to next-generation flexible and wearable electronics. Finally\, I wi
 ll conclude by discussing new possibilities to develop future materials and
  electronics systems with programmable and stimuli-responsive functionaliti
 es for implants and drug delivery\, as well as routes to exploit nanomateri
 als assembly for novel wearable and flexible devices\, such as sweat microf
 luidics and biosensors.\n\nBio: \n\nDr. Katherine R. Jinkins is a postdocto

 Rogers in the Querrey Simpson Institute for Bioelectronics. She received he
 r Ph.D. in Materials Science in 2020 from the University of Wisconsin-Madis
 on\, where she was advised by Prof. Michael S. Arnold. She has received fun
 ding through the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship\,
  the University of Wisconsin-Madison Distinguished Graduate Research Fellow
 ship\, and a Querrey Simpson Institute for Bioelectronics research grant to
  support her research.
