President's Science Award 2021 - Professor Chen Xiaodong

We are very pleased to extend our warmest congratulations to Professor Chen Xiaodong for receiving the President’s Science Award 2021. 

This prestigious award was presented to Professor Chen: 

Over the last 12 years, Professor Chen’s cutting-edge interdisciplinary research has advanced the frontiers of materials science and flexible electronics, creating the potential to disrupt advanced manufacturing, smart wearables, and digital healthcare. He has created a wide range of soft composite materials for flexible electrodes, which conform and adhere to human skin and animal tissues, and are also easily scalable. Through his endeavours, Professor Chen pioneered an emerging field called mechanomaterials by establishing a method that proactively programmed materials’ functionalities by leveraging the force-geometry-property relationships. He builds bioelectronic interfaces that convert biological signals into electrical outputs by applying such functional materials.
