About
Lei Qu is a prominent researcher specializing in flexible electronics, wearable sensing technologies, and electronic skin (e-skin) systems. His work sits at the intersection of materials science and robotics, with a particular focus on developing next-generation tactile and strain sensors capable of mimicking human sensory capabilities. Qu's most influential contribution, a 2019 paper on capacitive flexible tactile sensors utilizing three-dimensional porous dielectric layers, has accumulated over 252 citations, underscoring its foundational significance in the field. This work demonstrated remarkable advances in rapid-response sensing with low detection limits — critical properties for practical wearable applications. His subsequent research on serpentine-shaped composite films for stretchable strain sensors (131 citations) further established his expertise in designing mechanically robust, highly sensitive flexible systems. Notably, Qu has pioneered capacitive 3D-force tactile sensors capable of simultaneously detecting normal and tangential forces — a breakthrough for robotic grasping and manipulation applications. His biomimetic double conducting layer strain sensors reflect his commitment to nature-inspired engineering solutions that achieve high linearity alongside exceptional sensitivity. Collectively, Qu's body of work has garnered over 500 citations, positioning him as an influential voice shaping the future of intelligent soft robotics and human-machine interface technologies.
