About

Yiqing Wang is a leading researcher in bioinspired optics and self-powered sensing systems for human–machine interfaces. Wang’s work bridges nature-inspired design with practical, low-cost fabrication techniques. One of the most notable contributions is the development of a simple, scalable route to fabricate artificial compound eye structures, published in 2012 and cited 78 times. This work demonstrated a hemispherical array of ~5,867 honeycomb-patterned microlenses using femtosecond laser-enhanced wet etching and casting—a breakthrough that mimics insect vision with unprecedented simplicity and affordability. More recently, Wang has advanced the field of self-powered sensors, co-authoring a 2024 review on piezoelectric and triboelectric sensors for human–machine interfaces, which has already garnered 12 citations. This work highlights Wang’s shift toward integrating energy harvesting with interactive electronics, addressing the growing demand for intuitive, efficient, and wireless human–machine communication. With a career spanning foundational bioinspired fabrication to cutting-edge smart interface technologies, Yiqing Wang’s research continues to influence both fundamental optics and applied wearable electronics, offering elegant solutions for next-generation sensing and interaction.
