Biography

Dr Haotian Chen is a lecturer of Biomedical Engineering at the James Watt School of Engineering at the University of Glasgow, United Kingdom. He obtained his PhD, focusing on stretchable electronic systems, at Peking University in 2018. After that, he worked as a research scientist at EPFL, Switzerland under Prof. Stephanie Lacour from 2019 to 2022, to study the application of soft electronics in neuroprosthetics. Prior to joining the University of Glasgow in July 2023, he was a junior professor at CNRS-IEMN, France.

Dr Chen has published over 50 journals and conference papers including Advanced Functional Materials, ACS Nano, and Nano Energy. Some of his publications are among highly cited papers in flexible sensors, advanced materials, and nanocomposites (h index 26). Dr Chen serves as a peer reviewer for 20+ journals and conferences such as Science Advances, Advanced Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, Soft Robotics, Carbon, Advanced Advanced Engineering Materials, IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), and IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS).

Research interests

Our current research focuses on the human sensorimotor system. Inspired by physiology and neuroscience, we are developing innovative, soft, and biocompatible electronic devices (sensors and actuators) interfacing with human body to study the interaction processes between humans and their environment quantitatively. Our work aims to advance the next generation of rehabilitation equipment, prosthetics, robotic touch, and mixed reality haptic feedback systems, enabling a natural interconnection from artificial devices to human. Our primary research areas include:

1) Design and Fabrication of Soft Electronic Device & Systems (Electronic Skin)

2) Connecting Prosthetic Tactile to the Nervous System

3) Haptic Feedback and Teleoperation
