Houpu Li, PhD

Dr. Houpu Li earned his Ph.D. from Fudan University in Shanghai, focusing on polymers and nanomaterials. Later, he joined Arizona State University as a postdoctoral researcher under a MURI-funded program, where he contributed to lab-on-a-chip research for studying cell signaling pathways and their responses to electric fields. Dr. Li is now at the University of California, Santa Cruz, working on a DARPA-funded project led by Prof. Marco Rolandi for bioelectronic study. His work involves developing smart bioelectronic devices to accelerate wound healing. As part of a multidisciplinary team of electrical engineers, computer scientists, and biologists, Dr. Li is conducting research in bioelectronic devices and tissue interfaces to better understand and influence biological healing processes.
