About

Guanxiang Wan is a leading researcher at the intersection of stretchable optoelectronics, electronic skins (e-skins), and self-healing materials. Their work is pioneering the development of robust, skin-like devices that can sense, heal, and emit light—critical for next-generation soft robotics and smart textiles. Wan’s most cited paper (289 citations) introduces a transparent, self-healing, high-κ dielectric that enables low-field-emission stretchable optoelectronics, a breakthrough for durable wearable displays. Their highly influential review, “Toward an AI Era: Advances in Electronic Skins” (136 citations), provides a comprehensive roadmap for integrating flexible sensors into AI-driven systems. More recently, Wan has advanced self-healing actuatable electroluminescent fibres (30 citations), creating light-emitting fibers that can repair themselves after damage—a key step toward resilient smart fabrics and autonomous soft machines. With a growing portfolio of high-impact work, Wan is shaping the future of deformable, intelligent electronics that combine functionality with unprecedented durability.
