About

Jianquan Yao is a leading researcher at the forefront of terahertz photonics and intelligent metamaterials, whose work bridges fundamental physics with cutting-edge device engineering. His primary research areas encompass terahertz metasurfaces, bound states in the continuum (BIC), and neuromorphic computing hardware. Yao’s major contributions include pioneering the use of quasi-BIC in flexible terahertz metasurfaces for ultra-high-sensitivity bending sensing, a breakthrough that leverages strong light-matter interactions to achieve exceptional Q-factors. This work, published in 2023, has garnered 47 citations for its potential in advanced sensing applications. He has also made significant strides in artificial intelligence hardware, developing resistive switching memory based on polyvinyl alcohol-graphene oxide hybrids that emulate neural synapses for visual perception systems, with 24 citations. Most recently, Yao realized a secure robotic brain using programmable metasurfaces with robust high-order BIC, demonstrating terahertz waves’ utility in short-range communication and non-destructive detection. His innovative integration of BIC physics with flexible, programmable platforms positions him as a key figure in next-generation terahertz technologies, with his work attracting growing attention for its transformative impact on sensing, communication, and intelligent systems.
