Nguyễn Đăng Tùng

Dr. Nguyen Dang Tung is a materials scientist, specializing in flexible and wearable devices made from organic materials. Dr. Tung graduated from Ecole Polytechnique (France) with an Engineering degree in 2012, and from Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL, Switzerland) with a PhD in Materials Science in 2017. During his PhD, he invented a new technique to create micro and nano patterns on fibers and textiles, leading to several applications in bioengineering and three international patents. He then moved to UCSB (U.S.A.), working with Prof. Thuc Quyen Nguyen to develop biosensors based on organic electronics. There he developed the first dual-mode organic transistors, 50 years after the invention of dual-mode inorganic transistors. These novel transistors have been used in reconfigurable electronics and biomedical devices. His work has been published in Advanced Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, Nature Nanotechnology and other top-tier journals. Dr. Tung has supervised fifteen junior researchers at the Bachelor’s and Master’s levels, nine of which were co-authors in his publications.
