About

Yijing Liu is a leading researcher at the intersection of nanomaterials, soft matter, and responsive biomaterials. Her work focuses on engineering smart, stimuli-responsive systems—particularly shape-shifting hydrogels and plasmonic nanostructures—for applications in drug delivery, biosensing, and photothermal therapy. In her highly cited 2018 study, Liu introduced an innovative method to fabricate composite hydrogel sheets with spatially patterned plasmonic gold nanoparticles, enabling precise, laser-triggered shape transformations. This work, which has garnered 18 citations, demonstrated a powerful strategy for creating dynamic, programmable materials that respond to near-infrared light. By combining contact printing with diffusion-controlled galvanic replacement, Liu’s approach offers a simple yet robust platform for developing next-generation soft actuators and biomedical devices. Her contributions are paving the way for advanced therapeutic systems that can be remotely controlled with high spatiotemporal precision, making her a rising figure in the field of responsive nanomaterials.
