About

Zhizhen Wu is a researcher advancing the frontiers of flexible electronics and biomedical microsystems, with a core focus on developing novel sensor technologies for healthcare and robotics. Their major contributions center on the creation of polysilicon thin films on flexible polyimide substrates, a breakthrough that enables highly sensitive, wearable pressure and temperature sensor arrays. Notably, Wu pioneered the use of aluminum-induced crystallization at low temperatures to fabricate these films, solving a key challenge in integrating high-performance sensing materials with flexible platforms. This work has direct applications in electronic skin for prostheses and robots, as well as multimodal biomedical monitoring catheters. Their most cited paper (13 citations) established the foundational method for developing polysilicon thin films on flexible polyimide for biomedical use, while a subsequent study (4 citations) demonstrated a fully integrated wearable sensor array achieving high sensitivity for both pressure and temperature. Though early in their career, Wu’s innovations are laying critical groundwork for next-generation flexible biomedical devices that can conform to the human body, promising transformative impacts on prosthetic functionality, robotic tactile sensing, and continuous health monitoring.
