About

Zhi Jiang is a leading researcher in the field of flexible and stretchable electronics, with a particular focus on soft sensors, wearable health monitors, and conformable optoelectronic devices. His work has been instrumental in overcoming the mechanical constraints of traditional electronics, enabling seamless integration with the human body and curved surfaces. Jiang’s most impactful contribution is the development of a highly sensitive capacitive-type strain sensor using wrinkled ultrathin gold films, which has garnered 303 citations for its exceptional linearity and low hysteresis. He also pioneered a durable nanomesh on-skin strain gauge (261 citations) that allows for natural skin motion monitoring with minimal mechanical interference. Further demonstrating his versatility, Jiang advanced the fabrication of robust, conformal transparent electrodes via reverse-offset printing for high-performance organic photovoltaics, and contributed a comprehensive review on fabricating electronics on curved surfaces. His work on doping-induced stable interfaces in organic photovoltaics achieved over 13% efficiency with enhanced stability, marking a significant step toward practical, long-lasting flexible energy devices. With over 800 total citations across his top papers, Jiang’s research is shaping the future of wearable technology and soft robotics.
