About

Haoxuan Zeng is a leading researcher in the field of flexible and stretchable electronics, with a focus on developing advanced materials for wearable sensing and human-machine interfaces. Their work has significantly advanced the design of high-performance strain sensors that can be comfortably and accurately attached to the skin for real-time physiological monitoring. Zeng’s most impactful contribution is the development of an ultra-stretchable, highly sensitive, and biocompatible capacitive strain sensor using an ionic nanocomposite, which has garnered 180 citations. This work addresses a critical challenge in the field by achieving both high sensitivity and large stretchability, enabling applications in healthcare, soft robotics, and human-machine interfacing. Additionally, Zeng pioneered the use of two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) for electromechanical sensing, creating stretchable sensors with ultrahigh sensitivity and a large detection range, a novel approach that has received 46 citations. Their research also extends to flexible optoelectronics, including the first demonstration of a flexible hybrid optical modulation transistor based on a polymer–silver nanoparticle blend. Through these innovations, Zeng has established themselves as a key contributor to the next generation of wearable and soft electronic systems.
