About
Zhiyi Wu is a prolific researcher specializing in triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), flexible tactile sensing, and self-powered systems for human-computer interaction and the Internet of Things. His work sits at the intersection of energy harvesting, wearable electronics, and bioinspired robotics, addressing fundamental challenges in sustainable sensing technologies. Wu's most influential contributions include pioneering advances in 3D fabric-based TENGs for bio-motion energy harvesting, which has garnered 348 citations, and a widely referenced review of self-powered sensor systems that has attracted over 319 citations — together cementing his reputation as a leading voice in nanogenerator-driven sensing. His research has systematically tackled the challenge of multidimensional force detection, culminating in innovative finger-shaped and hemispherical flexible tactile sensors capable of real-time 3D force measurement and material identification. Beyond sensing, Wu has extended his expertise into bioinspired soft actuators, magnetically actuated robotic fish, and all-fiber electronic skin, demonstrating remarkable breadth. With a body of work spanning smart wearables, assistive human-machine interfaces, and miniaturized robotics, Wu's research consistently pushes toward self-sustaining, intelligent systems — making his portfolio essential reading for anyone working at the frontier of flexible electronics and autonomous sensing.
