My research interests focus on polymer nanocomposites and flexible electronic functional materials, guided by the national Health and Wellness Industry. I specialize in the design of novel soft materials and the investigation of device–tissue interfacial mechanisms, aiming to develop flexible bioelectronic devices with long-term biocompatibility and dynamic reliability. To date, I have published over 30 papers in leading international journals such as Adv. Mater., Adv. Funct. Mater., and Nano Lett., including 12 as first or corresponding author. My work has been cited more than 1,100 times with an H-index of 19, and I have led four national and provincial research projects.
