About
Yanchao Mao is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of flexible electronics, electronic skin (E-skin), and human-machine interfaces (HMIs), whose work has rapidly garnered over 800 citations across a growing body of influential publications. His research centers on developing next-generation wearable sensing systems that seamlessly bridge human biology and machine intelligence. Mao's landmark 2022 paper on kirigami-structured liquid metal paper (235 citations) introduced a self-supporting, stretchable, and recyclable E-skin architecture that fundamentally advanced electrode design for wearable electronics. Complementing this, his deep-learning-assisted gesture recognition system (174 citations) demonstrated how touchless HMIs could revolutionize medical applications, particularly in hygiene-sensitive environments. His 2023 work on protein-based bioprotonic hydrogels (139 citations) showcased a sophisticated biomimetic approach to achieving true human-machine material compatibility. Mao has further extended E-skin capabilities to encompass multimodal sensing — integrating force, temperature, and light perception — and has pioneered neurological E-skin incorporating synaptic transistors for neuroprosthetic applications. Through his sustained exploration of triboelectric nanogenerators, ionic hydrogels, and bioinspired materials, Mao has established himself as a transformative voice in the future of intelligent, self-powered wearable technology.
