Dr Shuying Wu is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering, The University of Sydney. Her research interests encompass multifunctional polymer nanocomposites, flexible and stretchable sensors and conductors, energy harvester, and carbon-based nanomaterials. One of her recent research focuses is the flexible and stretchable polymer nanocomposites for the application of wearable physical sensors (electromechanical and temperature sensors). These sensors can be worn directly on body or integrated in clothing and have shown significant promise in detecting changes in body temperature, pulse, respiration rate, and skin deformation associated with different body movements. Through the Hub, Dr Wu will investigate the potential applications of these sensors in gait monitoring, early diagnosis of diseases such as congestive heart failure, prevention and/or management of chronic conditions such as lymphedema.
