About
Man Kang is a leading innovator in the development of self-powered electronic skin and thermoelectric energy harvesting systems. Her research focuses on creating flexible, stretchable sensors that can operate without external power sources, particularly for temperature sensing applications. In her landmark 2023 work, Kang introduced a self-powered temperature electronic skin (STES) based on an island-bridge structure and Bi-Te micro-thermoelectric generators, enabling distributed mini-region sensing with remarkable accuracy. This paper has already garnered 47 citations, reflecting its immediate impact on the field of wearable electronics. Kang’s major contribution lies in solving the critical challenge of fabricating stretchable, distributed thermoelectric sensors that convert temperature gradients directly into voltage, eliminating the need for batteries. Her work bridges materials science, micro-fabrication, and device engineering, paving the way for next-generation smart skins, medical monitoring, and IoT applications. With her innovative approach to integrating thermoelectric materials into flexible architectures, Kang is establishing herself as a key figure in the push toward truly autonomous, energy-autonomous wearable systems.
