About

Yiliang Wang is a leading researcher at the forefront of flexible and wearable electronics, with a primary focus on skin-inspired sensors and advanced additive manufacturing. His work is pivotal in bridging the gap between soft materials and high-performance electronic systems. Wang’s major contributions include developing physical sensors for skin-inspired electronics, a highly cited work (243 citations) that explores how to mimic the sensitivity of human skin for applications in healthcare, wearable devices, and electronic skin. He has also pioneered a novel phase-change-enabled direct ink writing technique for soft silicone (89 citations), which overcomes critical challenges in rapid manufacturing—such as sagging and deformation—enabling high-resolution, defect-free fabrication of soft robotics and implantable biomedical devices. This innovation is particularly notable for its potential to revolutionize the production of flexible electronics. With a strong citation record reflecting the impact of his work, Wang is recognized for advancing both the fundamental science and practical fabrication methods needed to realize next-generation, body-integrated electronic systems.
