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
Dr Chen’s interdisciplinary research interests include wearable sensors, nanocomposites, exoskeletons, prosthetics and teleoperation, aiming to exploration, assessment and restoration and artificial-generation of sensorimotor functions. The goal is to understand the mechanisms underlying sensorimotor impairment and recovery and develop assistive haptic technologies mimicking the human sensorimotor system. The main research themes are:
- Soft wearable tactile sensor to mimic the skin function of mechanical and thermal sensing.
- Haptic rendering technologies artificially generating the sensor of touch.
- Neuro-interfacing to study non-invasive methods (mechanical, electrical and chemical) to stimulate the peripheral neuro system.
