About
Ya Yang is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of nanogenerators, self-powered sensors, and intelligent robotics. Her work centers on developing innovative materials and devices that harvest ambient energy—from mechanical touch to moisture—to create autonomous, battery-free systems. Yang’s major contributions include the first self-powered electronic skin using triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) arrays for instantaneous tactile imaging (127 citations), and stretchable, magnetoelastic sensor arrays for real-time human–machine interaction (88 citations). She has also advanced wireless strain monitoring in intelligent robots via Joule heating in graphene–polymer nanocomposites (111 citations), and created ultralight nano-layered carbon aerogel sensors with human-like tactile perception for intelligent recognition (81 citations). Her work on moisture-induced electricity for self-powered microrobots (48 citations) and stretchable CNTs-Ecoflex composites for ultrasensitive strain sensing (42 citations) further demonstrates her versatility. With over 600 total citations across her top papers, Yang’s research is driving the Internet of Things and soft robotics toward truly self-powered, intelligent systems.
