About

Binzhen Zhang is a leading researcher in the field of flexible electronics, with a primary focus on the design and fabrication of high-performance pressure sensors for electronic skin applications. Her major contributions center on developing novel capacitive pressure sensors that achieve exceptional sensitivity through innovative structural engineering. In her highly cited 2016 work (94 citations), Zhang introduced a flexible pressure sensor using silver wrinkled electrodes on a PDMS substrate, creating a device capable of detecting subtle pressure changes for applications in human healthcare monitoring, biomedical diagnostics, and prosthetic limbs. She further advanced the field in 2017 by developing a micro-pressure sensing method that utilizes micropatterned electrodes filled with microspheres, featuring a one-dimensional pyramid microstructure that enhances sensor responsiveness. Zhang’s research addresses critical challenges in achieving both high sensitivity and mechanical flexibility, making her work foundational for next-generation wearable electronics and robotic skins. Her innovative approaches to electrode patterning and dielectric structuring have positioned her as a key contributor to the rapidly evolving field of flexible tactile sensing technology.
