About

Dr. Teng Han is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction (HCI), soft robotics, and advanced materials, with a focus on creating seamless, skin-compatible haptic interfaces. His major contributions center on developing stretchable actuators and wearable sensors that enable intuitive, closed-loop communication between humans and machines. Notably, his 2023 work on "Skin-integrated stretchable actuators" (86 citations) pioneers haptic feedback systems that are truly compatible with human skin, allowing for natural, non-obtrusive interaction. Dr. Han also explores innovative sensing modalities, such as perovskite-based shadow recognition sensors (14 citations), which leverage ambient light for effortless HCI. His recent research on flexible shape-changing actuators using embedded electroosmotic pumps (FlexEOP, 2024) pushes the boundaries of dynamic interfaces, while his comprehensive review of electro-actuated materials (2023) has become a foundational resource for the field. With a growing citation impact and a clear trajectory toward real-world applications in assistive technology and immersive environments, Dr. Han’s work is shaping the future of how we physically connect with digital systems.
