About

Dr. Wenqiang Lu is a leading figure in the field of flexible and wearable electronics, with a core focus on developing advanced sensor technologies for healthcare and robotics. His most impactful contribution is the invention of a novel paper/carbon nanotube-based wearable pressure sensor, detailed in his highly cited 2017 work (275 citations). This sensor, designed for physiological signal acquisition and soft robotic skin, represents a breakthrough in creating low-cost, highly sensitive, and flexible devices. By ingeniously integrating single-wall carbon nanotubes with a paper substrate, Dr. Lu’s design enables continuous, comfortable monitoring of vital health signals—such as pulse and respiration—while also providing the tactile sensitivity required for next-generation soft robots. This work has been pivotal in bridging the gap between materials science and practical, wearable medical devices. Dr. Lu’s research continues to drive innovation in personalized medicine and intelligent robotic systems, establishing him as a key contributor to the future of human-machine interfaces.
