Kuan-Yu Chen is pursuing his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Andrews Laboratory for Printed Electronics and Sensors at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He received his B.S. in Nano Science and Engineering from the National Chiao Tung University in 2020, followed by a Master of Science in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2021. He joined LPES in the summer of 2021. Kuan has experience in the development of semiconducting materials for printed electronics in harsh environments. His current research focuses on printed potentiometric sensors and soil nutrient sensing, with the aim of developing innovative solutions for future agriculture.
Jingyi Huang is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Soil Science, University of Wisconsin-Madison. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of New South Wales, Australia, is developing novel non-invasive electromagnetic induction-based technologies and integrating them with mechanistic and empirical models for monitoring soil, water, and solute transport for irrigation scheduling and soil salinization management. Before joining UW-Madison, he worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Sydney and the University of New South Wales on combining big geospatial datasets and
machine learning models to understand the effects of climate change and human disturbance on changes in soil properties and processes since the Industrial Revolution, commonly known as the Anthropocene. His research focuses on the physical and hydrological aspects of soil, its properties, processes, and relationship with the environment and humans.
Joseph Andrews has been an Assistant Professor in Mechanical and Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison since 2019. He leads the Laboratory for Printed Electronics and Sensors (LPES). He received his B.S. in Engineering from the University of South Carolina in 2015. During that time, he worked as a research assistant, studying graphene synthesis and applications. Also during his undergraduate studies, he had the privilege of participating in the DAAD fellowship in Jena, Germany, at Friedrich Schiller University, where he studied carbon nanotube composite materials. He completed his Ph.D. studies at Duke University in Dr. Aaron Franklin’s research group, with the dissertation titled “Printed Carbon Nanotube Thin Films for Electronic Sensing”. His current research interests look to expand the field of printed electronics, in particular printed sensors, for future “internet-of-things” and biomedical applications.
