Zhang Lin serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering within the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York. His primary affiliation centers on advancing biomedical technologies through innovative materials and device engineering.
Research interests focus on smart materials and intelligent electronics for healthcare applications. Key areas include piezoelectric sensors/transducers, biomedical ultrasound, wearable electronics, flexible/stretchable systems, biosensors, MEMS, and energy harvesting. The SMILE Lab (Smart Materials & Intelligent Electronics Laboratory) drives multidisciplinary research to develop advanced systems for personal healthcare monitoring and translational medical applications.
Recent publications reveal strong trends in conformable ultrasound electronics and high-performance energy storage materials. Over 70% of recent work addresses wearable ultrasound patches for bladder monitoring, breast imaging, and deep tissue scanning, while complementary research explores polymer-ceramic nanocomposites for thermal-stable energy storage. This dual focus bridges diagnostic capabilities with power solutions for portable medical devices.
Dr. Zhang leads the SMILE Lab, which emphasizes optimistic, multidisciplinary collaboration to solve coherent problems in biomedical technology. The laboratory cultivates diverse expertise in materials synthesis, device fabrication, and system integration for healthcare innovation.
