About

Guoqing Zu is a leading researcher at the forefront of flexible electronics, specializing in the design and development of stretchable aerogels, foams, and self-powered electronic skins. His work addresses a critical challenge in the field: creating devices that are not only bendable but also highly stretchable without sacrificing performance. Zu’s major contributions include pioneering stretchable all-gel organic electrochemical transistors, which achieve a superior balance between mechanical compliance and electrical properties, and developing broad-range-response, battery-type self-powered pressure-sensitive electronic skins. These innovations have direct applications in wearable healthcare, soft robotics, and human-machine interaction. His most-cited paper, “Advanced Stretchable Aerogels and Foams for Flexible Electronics and Beyond” (2024), has garnered 56 citations, while his work on stretchable all-gel OECTs (2025) has 44 citations, underscoring the rapid impact of his research. Zu has also developed superelastic MXene/polymer aerogels for high-performance electronic skins and bioinspired dual-modal sensors with extended range and durability. His work consistently pushes the boundaries of stretchable, self-powered sensing, making him a key figure in the next generation of intelligent, wearable electronics.
