About
Yaqi Tang is a rising innovator in the field of flexible optical sensing and biomedical instrumentation. Her research centers on developing advanced fiber-optic tactile sensors for wearable health monitoring and human-machine interaction. Tang’s most notable contribution is the design of a flexible arc-shaped micro-Fiber Bragg Grating (mFBG) array three-dimensional tactile sensor, capable of detecting fingertip signals and monitoring human pulse with high sensitivity. By embedding three mFBGs in an arc-shaped PDMS elastomer, her work overcomes traditional rigid sensor limitations, enabling conformal contact and multi-directional force detection. This breakthrough, published in 2024 and garnering 13 citations in under a year, demonstrates significant early impact and addresses critical needs in prosthetics, robotics, and clinical diagnostics. Tang’s achievements highlight her ability to merge photonics with soft materials, paving the way for next-generation wearable sensors that are both precise and comfortable. Her research promises to transform how we capture subtle physiological signals, offering new possibilities for non-invasive health assessment and smart tactile interfaces.
