About
Jingkai Pan is a leading researcher in the field of soft robotics and smart materials, with a particular focus on bioinspired actuators and liquid crystal systems. His most cited work, “NIR–UV Responsive Actuator with Graphene Oxide/Microchannel-Induced Liquid Crystal Bilayer Structure for Biomimetic Devices” (2020, 69 citations), introduces a groundbreaking approach to fabricating soft bilayer actuators. Pan’s key contribution lies in the development of a microchannel method that enables precise programming of molecular alignment, overcoming traditional fabrication challenges. By leveraging the mismatch in coefficient of thermal expansion between layers and incorporating graphene oxide, his actuators achieve multistimulus responsiveness—including near-infrared and ultraviolet light—making them ideal for biomimetic devices. This work has been widely recognized for its simplicity, versatility, and potential in soft robotics, earning significant citations within the materials science community. Pan’s research continues to push the boundaries of adaptive materials, offering elegant solutions for next-generation actuators that mimic natural movements.
