About
Peiyi Wu is a pioneering materials scientist whose research sits at the dynamic intersection of bioinspired materials, soft electronics, and wearable sensing technologies. With a body of work garnering thousands of citations, Wu has established herself as a leading figure in the development of artificial ionic skins, self-healable hydrogels, and smart responsive materials that closely mimic the remarkable properties of human skin. Her most celebrated contribution, a bioinspired mineral hydrogel ionic skin published in 2017, has accumulated over 1,000 citations and fundamentally advanced the field of pressure-sensitive wearable electronics. Building on this foundation, Wu has systematically tackled core challenges in biomimetic materials — including mechanical toughness, fatigue resistance, vibration damping, and multi-modal sensing — producing highly cited innovations such as fatigue-free ionic skins reinforced by elastic nanomeshes and self-healable fluorinated ionic elastomers capable of absorbing shock energy. Her 2021 work on Kevlar/MXene intelligent fabrics further extended her expertise into washable, multifunctional wearable textiles. More recently, her fingertip-inspired tactile sensors and hydrogen-bond-engineered hydrogel systems demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of biological design principles. Wu's consistently impactful output across nearly a decade makes her an essential reference for researchers working in soft robotics, artificial intelligence, and next-generation wearable devices.
