About

Xiaofei Bu is a rising researcher in the field of flexible electronics and intelligent sensing systems, with a primary focus on developing multifunctional sensors for human–computer interaction, wearable devices, and robotic skin. Bu’s major contributions include pioneering work on flexible proximity and pressure sensors that integrate multiple sensing modalities—such as the dual-mode sensor combining triboelectric and piezoresistive effects, enabling simultaneous monitoring of non-contact and contact pressure. This innovation addresses a critical limitation of single-type sensors, which cannot adapt to diverse application scenarios. Bu also introduced a flexible capacitive pressure sensor with an inflatable dielectric layer, allowing adjustable detection ranges for enhanced human–computer interaction. With key papers accumulating over 100 citations in just two years, Bu’s work is gaining rapid recognition for its practical impact in healthcare monitoring and intelligent robotics. Notably, the 2023 study on multifunctional flexible proximity sensors has become a foundational reference, cited 40 times, while the 2024 capacitive sensor paper has already garnered 38 citations. Bu’s research exemplifies the next generation of adaptive, high-performance flexible electronics, bridging the gap between laboratory innovation and real-world wearable technology.
