About
Weiguo Hu is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of flexible electronics, energy harvesting, and neuromorphic sensing systems. His work spans triboelectric nanogenerators, piezotronic devices, and bioinspired artificial sensory systems — fields that are rapidly reshaping the landscape of intelligent wearable and robotic technologies. Hu's most celebrated contribution is his development of shape-adaptive, self-healable triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), which harvest biomechanical energy through soft solid-solid contact electrification, earning 160 citations since 2019. Building on this foundation, he pioneered strain-controlled power devices inspired by human reflex mechanisms (81 citations) and advanced flexible AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors modulated by the piezotronic effect (67 citations), demonstrating his versatility across energy and semiconductor domains. More recently, Hu has pushed toward neuromorphic intelligence, developing neuro-inspired thermoresponsive nociceptors, memristor-based spiking neuron systems for haptic-thermal perception, and ultrasensitive all-textile pressure sensors for artificial skin. His 2021 review linking piezotronics to AI systems underscores his vision of unified smart microsystems. With over 400 cumulative citations, Hu's research offers transformative pathways toward self-powered, human-integrated intelligent electronics.
