Sihong Wang’s research focuses on the development of biomimetic polymer electronics and bio-energy harvesting for interfacing with the human body and other biological systems as wearable and implantable devices. The overarching goal of the research is to develop functional polymers and devices that combine advanced electronic/photonic properties with biomimetic mechanical, chemical properties, and operation principles, for realizing the continuous, efficient, and long-term stable acquisition and processing of health data. Currently, the research in the Wang group has mainly four directions:
- Human-interfaced biosensors (chemical, mechanical, electrical);
- Immune-compatible electronic polymers and devices;
- Stretchable optoelectronics;
- Neuromorphic computing for artificial intelligence.
Wang has published 70 peer-reviewed publications in high-impact journals including Nature, Science, Nature Materials, Nature Electronics, Matter, Nature Communications, Science Advances,Advanced Materials, etc., with >20,600 citations to his work and a Google Scholar H-index of 59. Wang is also a named inventor on 8 US patents.
