About Xinyue (刘心悦)I am a PhD candidate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I currently work as a research assistant in the Department of Mechanical Engineering with Prof. Xuanhe Zhao. My research focuses on exploiting 3D printing techniques to develop living devices for diagnosis and therapy. While human tissues are mostly soft, wet and living; machines are commonly hard, dry and non-living. To enable a seamless human-machine interface, I invented living devices, which integrate functional living components into smart hydrogels. I printed wearable living tattoos for epidermal signal detection, and designed ingestible hydrogel pills that can achieve prolonged residence in GI tract for long-term diet monitoring and modulation. My ultimate goal is to implement hydrogel technologies and program living organisms to chart new basic and translational studies for human health.
