About

Dr. Jiaying Mo is a leading innovator in the field of soft materials and bio-inspired sensor design, with a primary focus on developing advanced tactile sensors and multifunctional hydrogels. Her most impactful work introduces a groundbreaking "finger-inspired rigid-soft hybrid tactile sensor" (2022, 230 citations), which dramatically enhances sensitivity to high-frequency dynamic stimuli—a critical limitation in conventional piezoelectric sensors. By mimicking the human finger’s rigid skeleton embedded in soft muscle, Dr. Mo’s design achieves superior performance for applications in robotics and human-machine interfaces. Equally notable is her work on ultra-stretchable, self-healable hydrogels (2021, 165 citations), where she leverages tannic acid-enabled dynamic interactions to create materials that simultaneously achieve over 3000% stretchability, strong adhesion, and self-healing capabilities. This breakthrough addresses a long-standing challenge in soft electronics, enabling robust on-skin devices for biomedical monitoring and artificial electronic skins. With over 395 citations across her key publications, Dr. Mo’s contributions are shaping the future of flexible electronics, offering practical solutions for next-generation wearable technology and soft robotics.
