About

Da-Wei Fu is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of ferroelectric materials and flexible sensor technology. His work centers on discovering and engineering novel organic-inorganic perovskite ferroelectrics, materials that elegantly bridge the gap between high-performance piezoelectric ceramics and the mechanical flexibility needed for next-generation electronics. Fu’s seminal 2017 paper, cited over 1,060 times, reported the first organic-inorganic perovskite ferroelectric with a large piezoelectric response, demonstrating a more flexible alternative to stiff ceramics like BaTiO₃ for mechanical sensors. He further advanced the field with his 2019 study on two-dimensional layered perovskite ferroelectrics, achieving a giant piezoelectric voltage coefficient—a critical parameter for practical, high-sensitivity sensors—while maintaining a high Curie temperature for thermal stability. Beyond ferroelectrics, Fu has explored performance optimization for high-power lithium-ion batteries and, most recently, developed a bioinspired interlocking hierarchical sensor that combines high sensitivity, megapascal pressure detection, and mechanical robustness for intelligent grasp recognition. With over 1,300 total citations, Da-Wei Fu’s research is shaping the future of smart materials for the Internet of Things, wearable electronics, and advanced robotics.
