About

Lijun Lu is a leading innovator in flexible electronics and intelligent sensing systems, with a focus on human–machine interaction and self-powered technologies. Their research has pioneered the development of flexible, noncontact sensors that overcome the limitations of traditional contact-based devices—such as mechanical wear and cross-infection—enabling safer, more durable interfaces for robots and wearable electronics. Lu’s work on multifunctional nanocomposite sensors, integrating ECG, strain, temperature, and gas detection into a single platform, has garnered significant attention, with their 2021 paper on flexible noncontact sensing amassing over 377 citations. A standout achievement includes the design of a 5G NB-IoT system inspired by cirrus and spider structures, which combines high-performance fiber sensors with long-distance signal transmission for real-time telemedicine—a critical advancement for aging societies. More recently, Lu has advanced electrospun nanofiber-based triboelectric nanogenerators, establishing self-powered contact and noncontact sensing as a transformative paradigm. With over 600 cumulative citations and a growing portfolio of high-impact publications, Lu’s work is shaping the future of intelligent, sustainable sensing technologies.
