Biography

Xudong Wang is a professor specializing in Materials Science Engineering at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. His research focuses on the development of flexible implantable piezoelectric materials and devices. With over a decade of experience in independent research, he has a proven track record in nanomaterial development and mechanical energy conversion, particularly in the context of biomechanical resources. His current work involves an R01 project that expands his research portfolio into biomechanical energy conversion, initiating a new research direction that studies how charge-limited electric fields generated by nanogenerators uniquely influence biological systems. This includes areas such as neuromodulation, skin wound recovery, hair growth, and bone healing. His recent efforts have yielded impressive preliminary results, showcasing the potential for developing power-free, self-activated electronic medical devices. Wang has also developed an implantable vagus nerve stimulator aimed at obesity control. Although his research is not directly related to diabetes, he is highly interested in exploring applications of implantable electrostimulation devices for treating diabetes.
