About

Xuliang Yu is a leading innovator in the field of wearable energy harvesting, with a primary focus on thermoelectric materials and flexible electronics. His most celebrated work, "Three-dimensional flexible thermoelectric fabrics for smart wearables" (2025), has already garnered over 100 citations, underscoring its immediate impact on the research community. In this landmark study, Yu addressed a critical gap in the development of wearable devices: the need for efficient, body-heat-driven power sources for the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and soft robotics. By engineering three-dimensional thermoelectric fabrics, he demonstrated a practical method to convert human body heat into electrical energy, overcoming long-overlooked parameters that had hindered real-world applications. This breakthrough not only advances sustainable power for smart textiles but also paves the way for self-powered, autonomous wearable systems. Yu’s work bridges materials science and device engineering, offering a scalable solution for next-generation wearables. His contributions are shaping the future of energy-autonomous electronics, making him a key figure in the transition toward truly intelligent, self-sustaining soft technologies.
