About
Chen Zhu is a leading innovator in flexible and stretchable electronics, with a primary focus on developing advanced human–machine interfaces (HMIs) and conformable sensing systems. His major contributions lie in creating wearable technologies that seamlessly integrate with the human body, exemplified by his pioneering work on PVDF piezoelectric sensors for HMIs, which has garnered 82 citations. Zhu has also revolutionized the fabrication of curved electronics through his programmable “transfer-and-jet” printing technique, enabling large-scale, 3D electronics on complex surfaces—a paper cited 63 times. His stretchable sEMG electrodes, designed with self-similar geometries for skin-conformal electrophysiological monitoring, further underscore his impact, with 20 citations. Notably, Zhu has extended his expertise into fiber-optic sensing, developing low-bending-loss distributed sensors using thin-core fibers (19 citations) and deep learning-enhanced strain sensors based on multimode fibers. His work consistently bridges materials science, device engineering, and practical applications, making him a key figure in the Internet of Things and wearable health monitoring. With a citation trajectory that highlights both foundational and cutting-edge contributions, Zhu’s research continues to shape the future of flexible electronics.
