About

Guang Zhu is a pioneer in self-powered sensing and human-machine interaction, whose work bridges nanotechnology, flexible electronics, and intelligent robotics. His research centers on triboelectrification and piezoelectric effects for developing advanced tactile sensors, with a particular focus on creating devices that can visualize mechanical stimuli without external power sources. His most influential contribution is the 2013 paper on high-resolution electroluminescent imaging using a piezoelectric nanowire LED array, which has garnered 726 citations and established a new paradigm for pressure distribution mapping. Zhu has further advanced the field through his work on triboelectrification-enabled touch sensing, achieving self-powered position mapping and dynamic tracking with flexible, area-scalable sensor arrays (76 citations). His 2019 study on enhanced triboelectrification-induced electroluminescence (54 citations) transformed dynamic mechanical interactions into visualized luminescence, opening new frontiers for tactile detection. More recently, he has extended his expertise to robotic systems, developing position-based force tracking adaptive impedance control for complex surface grinding (30 citations), and creating wing-structured sensors that can differentiate multiple mechanical stimuli (9 citations). His hierarchical porous dual-parameter sensor (131 citations) enables fully decoupled pressure-temperature sensing, demonstrating his continued innovation in multifunctional flexible electronics.
