About

Xixi Yang is a researcher whose work sits at the dynamic intersection of flexible electronics, neuromorphic engineering, and energy-harvesting technologies. Drawing inspiration from the human somatosensory system, Yang has made significant contributions to the development of artificial sensory systems that mimic biological sensing and signal processing. Their most celebrated work, the "Piezotronic Graphene Artificial Sensory Synapse" (2019, 216 citations), demonstrated how piezoelectric and synaptic functionalities could be integrated into a single graphene-based device, offering a compelling pathway toward brain-inspired tactile computing. Building on this foundation, Yang contributed to the creation of transparent, self-powered multimodal sensing arrays capable of distinguishing complex mechanical stimuli — an achievement documented in a 2017 paper that has garnered 95 citations and represents a meaningful advance in electronic skin technology. More recently, Yang's exploration of tribotronic nonvolatile optoelectronic memory highlights a growing interest in coupling mechanical stimuli with information storage at the nanoscale. Collectively, this body of work positions Yang as an innovative contributor to next-generation human-machine interfaces, with research that bridges materials science, neuroscience-inspired computing, and wearable sensing technologies.
