He has been appointed to an unprecedented six continuous terms as an NSERC Industrial Research Chair. His prestigious honours and awards ...

Huang is a scientific creator and pioneer of a transformative technology – stretchable electronics. He found how pre-strain with shape control can endow brittle inorganic semiconductors (e.g., silicon) with enormous stretchability (>150% strain), extremely low stiffness matching that of soft biomaterials, and conformability to arbitrary curvilinear surfaces. His theories constitute the scientific foundation of new technology such as stretchable batteries, sensors, circuits, radios and many commercial biomedical devices transforming medicine. 

Huang developed innovative optimization approaches to tackle complexities of environmental risk management that are beyond direct human reasoning. His work led to a new field of inexact environmental systems analysis uniquely useful for multi-stakeholder risk management practices. His findings revealed various complexities in environmental systems and obstacles hindering sustainable regional development. They were introduced by multiple international development agencies to a number of countries and frequently used by peers/stakeholders, bringing about enormous socio-economic benefits. His ...

Professor Biao Huang is an internationally recognized expert in process control, particularly in areas of data analytics, performance monitoring, fault diagnosis, and process identification.
