Dr. Cunjiang Yu of the University of Houston and other researchers created an implantable rubber electronic device that collects data on electrophysiological activity, temperature, heartbeat to collect information about the heart and diagnose cardiac conditions. It is the first of its time as it beats with the heart due to the elasticity of the material.
Dr. Yu is the leader of a research group that affiliates with the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Houston and specializes in creating new technologies and understanding mechanisms to further knowledge and solve problems related to healthcare, medicine and robotics. His research efforts include devices, such as flexible, stretchable, wearable sensors and electronics, thin film organic and inorganic electronics and materials such as functional electronic materials and smart functional materials.
His academic trajectory took him from graduating with a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Southeast University in Nanjing, China in 2000, up through a Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering at Arizona State University and a Post-doc in Materials Science and Engineering at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He has an impressive spread of publications as he has 65 publications, 46 of which have been in the past 6 years. He holds publications in several prestige journals such as Nature and is highlighted on many media outlets.
