报告摘要：
Smart micro/nano-structures and sensors are increasingly important for the smart world. In this talk, piezoelectric and flexoelectric micro/nano-structures and the associated devices are presented for applications in biomedical, mechanical, aerospace, civil and energy engineering. In specific, micromachined piezoelectric high frequency (> 20 MHz) ultrasound transducers were designed, fabricated and characterized for intravascular ultrasound imaging and therapy. Flexoelectric materials and structures were next discussed for flexoelectric sensing applications, followed by the challenges and future flexoelectricity research.
