About

Shuhai Jia is a materials and biomedical engineer whose research sits at the dynamic intersection of wearable electronics, advanced manufacturing, and flexible sensor technologies. His most significant contributions focus on developing next-generation stretchable and piezoresistive sensors for health monitoring, human-machine interfaces, and wearable devices. His landmark 2018 study on highly stretchable core-sheath fibers fabricated via wet-spinning — which has garnered over 300 citations — demonstrated how polymer elastomer-wrapped carbon nanocomposite architectures could achieve remarkable sensitivity and flexibility, setting a new standard in the field. Building on this foundation, Jia pioneered coaxial printing strategies for silicone elastomer composite fibers, offering scalable and cost-effective fabrication pathways that addressed persistent manufacturing challenges. His work on coaxial carbon nanotube/polymer fibers further cemented his expertise in fiber-based wearable sensing platforms. Beyond flexible electronics, Jia has also made meaningful contributions to biomedical manufacturing, developing a robotic arm-based hydrogel additive manufacturing system designed for in-situ surgical printing — a forward-looking approach to real-time tissue repair. With nearly 500 cumulative citations, his research has meaningfully advanced both wearable technology and biomedical engineering innovation.
