About
Yi-Qiang Bao is a rising researcher at the forefront of reconfigurable electromagnetic metamaterials and advanced sensing technologies. His work masterfully bridges materials science and structural engineering, with a particular focus on tunable origami metastructures. In his most-cited 2024 paper, Bao introduced a groundbreaking liquid crystal (LC)-based tunable origami metastructure (OMS) for curvature sensing on cylindrical surfaces. By ingeniously integrating the nematic LC K15 (5CB) into a foldable origami design, he achieved dynamic electromagnetic wave control across an ultra-broadband range of 0.36 to 23 GHz. This innovation enables precise curvature detection under 4–16 GHz excitation, offering a paradigm shift for flexible, conformal sensors. With 6 citations already, this work signals strong early impact in the field. Bao’s contributions are particularly notable for their potential in smart skins, structural health monitoring, and adaptive electromagnetic cloaking. His research exemplifies how origami-inspired architectures can unlock new functionalities in microwave devices, positioning him as a key innovator in next-generation tunable metastructures for real-world sensing applications.
