About

Dr. Guowei Yang is a leading innovator at the intersection of nanotechnology and wearable electronics, whose work is redefining how we interact with smart materials. His primary research spans triboelectric nanogenerators, 2D transition metal dichalcogenides, and advanced optical manipulation. Dr. Yang’s most impactful contribution is the development of a tactile electronic skin capable of simultaneously detecting and distinguishing between temperature and pressure—a breakthrough for prosthetics and human-machine interfaces, with his seminal 2020 paper on this topic garnering 141 citations. He has also advanced the field of wearable optoelectronics by exploring 2D group 6 transition metal dichalcogenides, laying the groundwork for flexible, deformable devices in electronic skins and intelligent displays. More recently, Dr. Yang has pioneered color tuning using scanning optical tweezers, a novel approach that enables direct, low-cost color mixing for applications in painting, printing, and animation. His work consistently bridges fundamental materials science with practical device engineering, making him a key figure in the next generation of adaptive, energy-efficient electronic systems.
