DESCRIPTION:We next welcome Dr. Lan Luan from Rice Unviersity as our semina
 r speaker. Dr. Luan is an Associate Professor in Electrical and Computer E
 ngineering.\n\nUltraflexible Neural Electrodes for Bi-directional\, Long-l
 asting Neural Interface\n\nAbstract: The brain is the most complex system 
 in the human body. Neurotechnology capable of detecting the faults and res
 toring lost functions in the injured or disordered brain must be able to i
 nterface with the nervous tissue bi-directionally\, at high spatiotemporal
  resolutions\, and over extended periods. In this talk\, I will discuss ou
 r efforts on developing ultraflexible electrodes to meet these needs and t
 heir applications on studying neurological disorders. These efforts center
  on developing the NanoElectronic Threads (NETs)\, currently the thinnest\
 , most flexible penetrating electrode\, for scar-free tissue integration a
 nd long-lasting intracortical recording\; for high-resolution intracortica
 l microstimulation\; for high-quality\, single-unit recording in the spina
 l cord during free behavior\, and for integration with closed opposed opti
 cal imaging. These neurotechnology advances enable new opportunities for u
 nderstanding and potentially treating a broad spectrum of neurological dis
 orders and injuries.\n\nBio: Dr. Luan received her B. S. from the Universi
 ty of Science and Technology of China\, Ph. D. at Stanford University\, an
 d performed her postdoc research at Harvard University\, all in the depart
 ment of Physics. She worked at UT Austin from 2014 – 2019 as a research 
 scientist and then as a research assistant professor\, where she made the 
 transition from quantum physics to neural engineering. She joined faculty 
 at Rice University in fall 2019 and is currently an associate professor of
  Electrical and Computer Engineering\, Bioengineering\, and as a core facu
 lty member of Rice Neuroengineering Initiative. She is the recipient of NI
 H Mentored Quantitative Research Development Award and American Heart Asso
 ciation Scientist Development Award.
