About

Long Lin is a pioneer in the field of self-powered systems and stretchable electronics, with a research focus on triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and their applications in energy harvesting and biomechanical monitoring. His work has fundamentally advanced the design of deformable power sources, enabling next-generation wearable and implantable devices. In his landmark 2016 paper, cited over 328 times, Lin introduced a highly shape-adaptive, stretchable energy harvester using conductive liquid within a polymer cover, solving a critical challenge in powering flexible electronics. Earlier, his 2014 study on a self-powered triboelectric sensor for trajectory, velocity, and acceleration tracking—garnering 193 citations—demonstrated a novel, single-electrode approach for motion detection without external batteries, impacting fields from robotics to sports science. Lin’s contributions have been widely recognized for their ingenuity and practical potential, establishing him as a leading figure in the development of autonomous, maintenance-free sensing technologies. His work continues to inspire researchers seeking sustainable, deformable solutions for the Internet of Things and human-machine interfaces.
