Dear readers of www.macroelectronics.org:
Welcome to a World Top 100 Engineering Blog!
This is All about Flexible Macroelectronics !
What's for?
I founded www.macroelectronics.org in April 2006, several years after I started to work on flexible macroelectronics at Princeton University, and several months after I dived into the Web2.0 tech trend at Harvard University. I've been fascinated by the ever fast growth of the emerging field of flexible macroelectronics. While I get to know and enjoy the progress of flexible macroelectronics everyday via sources here and there, I realized there is no single place where both the technological progress and the scientific knowledge of the multiple fronts of this nascent area can be aggregated and accumulated. This is exactly the motivation that finally led me to launch www.macroelectronics.org.
Aiming to address the growing interests in flexible macroelectronics, www.macroelectronics.org web portal:
- tracks both latest technological progress and ongoing scientific research on flexible macroelectronics;
- serves as a platform to exchange information among people who are interested in this emerging technology;
- stimulates interactions and collaborations among flexible macroelectronics industries and researchers in the field.
Who's behind? I received a Ph.D. from Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University in March, 2006, after my earlier studies at Princeton University and Tsinghua University, China. I joined the faculty of Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Maryland since August 2006.
My current research interests include mechanics of the micro/nano structures in flexible macroelectronics, innovative micro/nano scale patterns as general platforms for flexible macroelectronics, deformation instability of thin films and multilayers, and mechanics of biomembrane and cytoskeleton in the cells.
I'm also interested in exploring innovative strategies to enhance communications and foster collaborations using Web2.0 technologies. Besides editing www.macroelectronics.org, I am also one of the two architects of www.imechanica.org, a multiblog for international community of Applied Mechanics.

I would like to thank all our subscribers and readers. Your support and participation have always been crucial for the fast growth of this web portal. Again, your comments are always welcome. If you want to join us as a contributor (or just want to make a post anytime), feel free to email me. I'm particularly grateful to Prof. Z. Suo at Harvard University, who has always been encouraging and supportive for me and for the growth of www.macroelectronics.org. I can learn something new every single time I talk to him.
Sincerely yours,
Teng Li
