About
Yan-Cheng Wu is a pioneering researcher in the field of flexible and wearable energy harvesting technologies, with a particular focus on triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and self-powered electronic systems. His work sits at the cutting edge of materials science, wearable electronics, and sustainable energy, addressing critical challenges in next-generation robotic and human-machine interface applications. Wu's most celebrated contribution is the development of an entirely self-healable, highly transparent, and superstretchable triboelectric nanogenerator capable of functioning simultaneously as a personal power source and electronic skin — a landmark achievement that has garnered 179 citations since its 2019 publication. This work demonstrated that energy-harvesting devices could autonomously recover from damage without external intervention, a breakthrough with profound implications for wearable and implantable electronics. Building on this foundation, Wu further advanced the field by engineering deformable, mechanically durable TENGs derived from recycled coffee waste, accumulating 98 citations and showcasing his commitment to sustainable, eco-conscious design in smart sensor technologies. Together, these contributions highlight Wu's rare ability to merge functional innovation with environmental responsibility, cementing his reputation as a significant voice in the future of self-powered wearable systems.
