About
Xiaoli Zhao is a leading innovator in the field of flexible and wearable electronics, with a primary focus on developing advanced sensor technologies that mimic human sensory capabilities. Her major contributions center on the creation of artificial electronic skin and proximity sensors that are mechanically flexible, stretchable, and conformable to irregular surfaces. Zhao’s seminal 2015 work on a multifunctional sensor array for static and dynamic strain mapping, cited over 260 times, established a foundational approach for integrating strain, pressure, and temperature sensing into wearable platforms. She further advanced proximity detection with an ultrasensitive flexible sensor using organic crystals, achieving remarkable sensitivity to external objects like human fingers and atomic force microscopy tips. Her 2021 composite proximity sensor expanded functionality to detect both conductors and insulators, demonstrating ongoing innovation in conformal sensing. With over 340 total citations across her most-cited works, Zhao’s research has significantly impacted the development of electronic skin for robotics, healthcare monitoring, and human-machine interfaces, positioning her as a key figure in next-generation wearable technology.
