Keynote Talk: Printing the Future
Explore how advances in printable electronics are changing the way we design and use technology in everyday life. As devices like wearable sensors and smart connected systems become more common, there is a growing need for electronics that are flexible, low-cost, easy to produce at a large scale, and developed in a socially-responsible manner.
Using techniques similar to printing, researchers can now create antennas, sensors, and other electronic components on materials like paper, plastic, and fabric, opening the door to lightweight, disposable, and wearable technologies that can be produced as easily and affordably as newspapers.
This talk highlights how multidisciplinary and multiscale approaches can lead to innovative functional systems in health and environmental monitoring as well as smart infrastructure. Pathways taken for their successful commercialization will be described.
