The Kan Li Group is based at the School of Mechanical Science and Engineering, HUST, and the State Key Laboratory of Intelligent Manufacturing Equipment and Technology. Grounded in theoretical and applied mechanics and organized around the core question of distributed sensing on flexible substrates, we develop flexible electronic distributed-sensing technologies. We use microfliers as distributed spatial sensing nodes, and have achieved breakthroughs in bio-inspired microfliers, conformal high-temperature curved-surface sensing, crack-controlled sensors, and flexible intelligent microsystems.
