About

Hong Jin is a pioneering researcher in the field of energy harvesting and flexible electronics, with a primary focus on converting human biomechanical motions into usable electrical energy. Her most cited work, "Flexible Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting from Mouse Click Motions" (2016, 54 citations), demonstrates a novel approach to scavenging energy from repetitive finger movements, such as those made during computer use. In this study, Jin and her team experimentally and theoretically assessed the feasibility of using piezoelectric materials embedded in a glove pocket to harvest energy from both robotic and human index finger clicks. This work not only highlights the potential for powering low-consumption wearable devices but also bridges the gap between robotics and human-machine interaction. Jin’s contributions are significant in advancing sustainable, self-powered systems, and her research has inspired further exploration into biomechanical energy harvesting. With 54 citations, this paper remains a foundational reference for students and researchers interested in flexible piezoelectric devices and their real-world applications in wearable technology.
