Welcome to the research group of Professor Desheng Kong at Nanjing University
Kong research group is located at the Xianlin Campus of Nanjing University. The group focuses on developing new classes of electronic materials as the enabler for stretchable and wearable electronic devices and systems. The research is interdisciplinary in nature with broad range of applications in cutting-edge areas, such as wearable sensors, human-machine interfaces, and biomedical instrumentations. We welcome motivated undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdocs to join our group!
Our research activities are supported by the shared facilities at College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, the State Key Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry for Life Science, and the National Laboratory of Solid State Microstructures.
Overview
The Kong research group currently focuses on stretchable electronics for wearable and implantable applications. The research in our group is highly interdisciplinary, with students from material science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, etc. We work with various material systems, including inorganics, polymers, and composites. We also work on new material processing and device fabrication techniques. Our group is primarily an experimental group. The computational simulations and optimizations are also vital for additional insights and design considerations.
