报告内容摘要：
Nanomaterials offer unique properties and device functions, enabling human-machine interfacing at the unprecedented levels. In this talk, I will first present the functional interfacing between nanowire devices and 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), when I present simple but very meaningful results demonstrating that SENES system records, stores, and replays touch contact and pressure (for the first time in human history), using a ZnO nanocrystal thin film transistor pressure senor array and an elastomer actuator array. The ability to record, store, and reproduce touch sense 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. |

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.
