About

Hongke Li is a rising leader in advanced manufacturing, specializing in flexible electronics, 3D printing, and smart materials. His research focuses on developing novel fabrication strategies for strain sensors, soft robotics, and functional magnetic structures. Li’s most impactful work, “Carbon Nanotube‐Based Strain Sensors: Structures, Fabrication, and Applications” (2022), has garnered 141 citations, establishing a comprehensive framework for designing high-performance, flexible sensors using carbon nanotubes. He has also pioneered the 3D printing of temperature-responsive hydrogels with programmable multi-curvature deformation, enabling reconfigurable soft machines. Notably, Li’s recent work on direct ink writing of room-temperature fast-curing NdFeB slurries (2025) overcomes traditional mold limitations, allowing for the creation of specially shaped permanent magnets that optimize magnetic field distribution in space-constrained devices. His integrated approach to 3D printing magnetically actuated, crease-assisted pixelated structures further advances the field of reconfigurable soft robotics. With a growing portfolio of high-impact publications, Hongke Li is shaping the future of multifunctional materials and additive manufacturing.
