About
Xiaowen Sun is a researcher whose work spans two distinct and impactful domains: advanced materials and sensing technologies, and human-robot interaction. In the realm of flexible electronics, Sun has made significant contributions to the development of self-powered wearable sensing systems, most notably pioneering a stretchable temperature electronic skin based on an island-bridge architecture integrated with bismuth-telluride micro-thermoelectric generators. This innovation, which has garnered 47 citations since its 2023 publication, addresses a critical challenge in wearable technology by enabling accurate, distributed temperature sensing without an external power supply — a breakthrough with far-reaching implications for health monitoring and soft robotics. Complementing this materials-focused research, Sun has also explored the frontiers of human-robot interaction, contributing to visually grounded dialog systems through hybrid neural architectures and developing frameworks for adapting robot behavior to diverse user groups. These latter works, while more recently published, signal a growing interest in inclusive, adaptive social robotics. Together, Sun's portfolio reflects a uniquely interdisciplinary profile, bridging cutting-edge hardware innovation with intelligent, human-centered systems design.
