Research interest and achievements

As a Ph.D. student, Shaobo carried out research on dynamic selenium chemistry and visible light-responsive polymer materials. Then he started his postdoctoral research, focusing on the applications of polymer materials and chemistry in flexible sensors.

After joining FUNSOM, his research interest is the applications of polymer chemistry and materials engineering in stretchable sensor fabrication and integration, specifically to address the interfacial connection issues in stretchable devices manufactured from different materials. Till the end of 2023, Shaobo has published 35 journal papers, including Nature, Nat. Electron., Adv. Mater., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., ACS Nano, his articles have been cited more than 2100 times with a H-index of 23.
