I feel so grateful to know that my PhD student, Guorui Chen, received both the 2026 Harry M. Showman Prize and the Edward K. Rice Outstanding Doctoral Student Award from UCLA Samueli Engineering @UCLAengineering @BioEngUCLA. Thank you all for your tremendous support!

Our Smart Stent made the cover of Nature Cardiovascular Research! Congratulations to the hard work and amazing team work! @JunChenLab @PSWnano @songli_UCLA @UCLAengineering @UCLAHealth

Our research published in @NatureElectron is selected to be one of the UCLA Top 25 Bruinventions of the 21st Century! Thank you very much for your tremendous support @UCLAengineering @BioEngUCLA @NatureElectron over the years!

Bruins continue to invent the future – from life-saving medical advances to world-changing tech. Our latest @UCLA Magazine features the top 25 Bruinventions of the 21st century. #ResearchPowersProgress newsroom.ucla.edu/magazine/t…

In the 2025 edition of Clarivate’s Highly Cited Researchers list, @Clarivate included @UCLA @UofCalifornia @BioEngUCLA post-doctoral researcher Yihao Zhou and PhD student Guorui Chen. bioeng.ucla.edu/bioengineeri…

It is great to see my postdoc Dr. Yihao Zhou and PhD student Guorui Chen, included on the 2025 Highly Cited Researcher list—though I must say it’s so entertaining that I’m not on the list myself @Clarivate. Thank you @UCLAengineering @BioEngUCLA so much for the great education!

The 2025 ACS Nano Lectureship Award was presented by Prof. Xiaodong Chen @ChenXD_NTU_Sg (Editor-in-Chief of ACS Nano @acsnano, right) and Dr. James Milne (President of ACS Publications, left). I deeply appreciate this recognition and the support of my colleagues and friends.

Professor Jun Chen has developed a soft, AI-powered neck patch that helps people speak even without vocal cords. This tiny, wearable device is a major step forward in restoring voice function. Learn more about how UCLA #ResearchPowersProgress: ucla.edu/research

Thank you very much @tjdursch for your unwavering support and inspiration throughout the years. We are deeply honored to have our exciting findings published in @NatChemEng !

Congratulations! Join them at the #S25MRS Award Recipients—Lightning Talks and Panel Discussion Wednesday, April 9 10:00 am – 11:30 am Summit, Level 5, Signature Room

UCLA Bioengineer Jun Chen Awarded Top Honor for Early-Career Scientist in Materials Research samueli.ucla.edu/ucla-bioeng… Thank you all very much! @uclaengineering @BioEngUCLA

Really great informal get-together at the end of the first day of the MRS meeting. All former group members, all current faculty members – Jang-Ung Park (@yonsei_u), Dae-Hyeong Kim (@SeoulNatlUni ), Yeon Sik Choi (@yonsei_u), Hamed Arami (@ASU), Quansan Yang @QuansanYang (@UW), Jae-Woong Jeong (KAIST), Lan Yin (@Tsinghua_Uni), Seok Kim (@postech2020 ), Seung Yoon Ryu (@dongguk_univ), @XuejuW (@UConn), Jeonghyun Kim (Kwangwoon University @Kwangwoon_univ ), Keon Jae Lee (KAIST), @GT_HongYeo (@GeorgiaTech), Changsheng Wu (National University of Singapore), @XugroupUCSD (@UCSD), Tae-il Kim (Sungkyunkwan University) and Lizhi Xu (@HKUniversity). Also joining, former postdoc Kento Yamagishi @kento_yamagishi (staff scientist with Takao Someya @tsomeya, The University of Tokyo), visiting PhD student Xiao Xiao(National University of Singapore), and ‘honorary’ group member Prof. @JunChenLab (@UCLA). Incredible collection of young, high-powered researchers – a small subset of >150 former group members who are highly successful faculty at great research universities around the world: ~50 here in the US; ~60 in Korea; ~20 in China; and ~20 in Europe and Canada. Super fun to spend time together and talk about science, engineering, commercialization, current events and life in general! Thanks to Yeonsik for organizing!

Thank you @khademh very much for your tremendous support over the years!

Thank you all very much for your tremendous support over the years!@BioEngUCLA @UCLAengineering Welcome you to the Terasaki Innovation Summit 2025 @TerasakiInst on Mar 05 - 07, 2025.

Published in @NatureMaterials, research led by Assoc. Prof. Jun Chen of @BioEngUCLA @UCLA @UofCalifornia resulted in the development of a permanent fluidic magnet for enhanced liquid bioelectronics in voice sensing & recognition, and organ monitoring. samueli.ucla.edu/ucla-engine…
