About

Tongda Lei is a leading researcher in the field of flexible wearable sensors, with a focus on developing advanced hydrogel-based materials for intelligent motion recognition and environmental adaptability. His major contributions include the creation of cold-resistant, highly stretchable ionic conductive hydrogels, which maintain antimicrobial activity, flexibility, and conductivity at sub-zero temperatures, enabling their use in winter sports applications. This work, cited 138 times, demonstrates a wide strain range (0-800%) and high sensitivity (GF = 3.75), making it ideal for detecting large joint movements. Lei also pioneered a multifunctional flexible wearable hydrogel sensor with anti-swelling properties via supramolecular interactions, allowing for underwater motion detection and information transmission, a paper that has garnered 57 citations. His innovations address critical challenges in extreme environments, such as low temperatures and aquatic conditions, expanding the utility of wearable sensors. Lei’s research is notable for its practical impact, bridging materials science and engineering to create durable, responsive devices for sports, healthcare, and communication. His work continues to inspire advancements in smart textiles and human-machine interfaces, positioning him as a key figure in next-generation wearable technology.
