About
Xiaofan Ji is a leading researcher in the field of bioinspired smart materials, with a primary focus on the design and engineering of advanced hydrogels. Their work centers on creating stimuli-responsive hydrogels that can simultaneously alter multiple physical properties—such as fluorescence color, brightness, and shape—in response to a single external trigger. This breakthrough, most notably demonstrated in their highly cited 2020 paper (241 citations), leverages aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) to achieve complex, life-like functionalities, paving the way for bioinspired artificial intelligence. Ji has also pioneered a universal strategy for constructing hydrogel assemblies using polyacrylic acid (PAA) adhesive, enabling robust, supramolecular-free bonding between hydrogel building blocks. Additionally, their recent work on supramolecular hydrogels (2025) tackles the challenge of achieving both mechanical robustness and strong adhesion underwater, with implications for biomedicine and marine engineering. With a citation impact exceeding 270 across their top papers, Ji’s contributions are driving the next generation of adaptive, multifunctional soft materials.
