About

Dr. Minghui Duan is a pioneering researcher in the field of stretchable electronics and liquid metal-based soft materials, with a focus on creating next-generation electronic skin (e-skin) and smart actuators. Her major contributions center on the development of gallium-based liquid metal alloys, such as Cu–EGaIn and Nano-Fe GaIn amalgams, which enable unprecedented stretchability and conductivity for wearable and robotic applications. Notably, her 2020 work on Cu–EGaIn enabled stretchable e-skin, cited over 90 times, demonstrates a breakthrough in interactive electronics and CT-assisted localization, bridging the gap between biomimetic machines and artificial intelligence. Her 2018 study on Nano-Fe GaIn amalgams for smart flexible pneumatic actuators, with 27 citations, advanced the integration of stretchable electronics into soft robotics, enhancing compliance and degrees of freedom. More recently, her 2022 review on responsive liquid metal droplets, from bulk to nano, has garnered 13 citations, highlighting the transformative potential of these materials beyond traditional droplets. Dr. Duan’s work has significant implications for smart robotics, automation, and biomedical devices, establishing her as a key innovator in liquid metal-enabled technologies.
