About

Boling Lan is a rising star in the field of flexible electronics and bioinspired sensors, with a focus on developing next-generation e-skins and wearable devices for robotics and healthcare. His research centers on piezoresistive and piezoelectric sensing technologies, where he has made significant contributions to creating highly sensitive, mechanically stable sensors. Lan’s most cited work, a 2024 study on a mass-produced skin-inspired piezoresistive sensing array with an interlocking interface, has garnered 58 citations for its breakthrough in enabling object recognition through robot haptics. He also pioneered an ultrathin epidermal P(VDF-TrFE) piezoelectric film for wearable electronics (30 citations), addressing critical challenges in conformal skin contact and fabrication. In 2025, Lan introduced a novel piezotronic sensor for bimodal monitoring of Achilles tendon behavior (22 citations), capable of simultaneously detecting static and dynamic forces—a key advancement for medical diagnostics. His recent work on low electric field-driven relaxor ferroelectric soft robots (7 citations) further demonstrates his versatility in soft robotics. Lan’s innovative designs, combining hierarchical structures and multifunctional sensing, are paving the way for practical applications in human-machine interfaces and biomedical monitoring.
