About

Xiaochen Xun is a pioneering researcher in the field of self-powered electronic skin (e-skin) and wearable tactile sensors, with a focus on creating highly robust, multifunctional, and stretchable sensing systems. Their major contributions include the development of tough conductive self-healing elastomers that enable self-powered e-skin with exceptional durability and full self-healing capability, addressing the critical issue of modulus mismatch at material interfaces. Xun’s work on stretching-insensitive pressure sensors and fully organic self-powered e-skin has advanced wearable technology by ensuring reliable sensing under mechanical strain. Notably, their research on omnidirectionally strain-unperturbed tactile arrays, achieved through modulus regulation in quasi-homogeneous elastomer meshes, has set a new standard for pressure-sensing accuracy in dynamic environments. With over 250 citations across their most-cited papers, Xun’s innovations in self-powered, ripple-inspired fingertip interactors and humanoid mechanoreceptors for spatiotemporal tactile cognition have significant implications for prosthetics, robotics, and human-machine interfaces. Their work is widely recognized for pushing the boundaries of wearable electronics and intelligent sensing systems.
