About
Yiying Yue is a materials scientist whose research sits at the dynamic intersection of nanocellulose engineering, smart hydrogels, and wearable sensing technologies. With a body of work accumulating over 900 citations, Yue has established herself as a leading voice in the development of multifunctional hydrogel systems that leverage the unique mechanical and structural properties of cellulose nanomaterials. Her landmark 2020 paper on nanocellulose-supported graphene conductive hydrogels — now cited over 320 times — demonstrated a compelling pathway toward flexible, self-healing wearable sensors capable of monitoring human motion in real time. Subsequent work refined these systems through polyacrylic acid matrices and cellulose nanofiber reinforcement, yielding materials with exceptional stretchability, conductivity, and autonomous healing properties. More recently, Yue has pushed into the realm of soft robotics and programmable actuators, designing bilayer and gradient hydrogel structures inspired by wood architecture that respond to thermal stimuli, exhibit shape memory, and possess intrinsic self-sensing capabilities. Her progression from strain-sensing hydrogels to intelligent, multi-stimuli-responsive actuators reflects a coherent and ambitious research vision — building next-generation bio-inspired materials that are simultaneously structural, sensory, and adaptive.
