About
Zijian Zheng is a leading figure in flexible and wearable electronics, with a research focus on soft metal electrodes, stretchable sensors, and biocompatible systems for human-machine interfaces. His major contributions include pioneering the development of permeable superelastic liquid-metal fibre mats, which enable monolithic stretchable electronics—a breakthrough cited over 729 times. He also advanced the chemical formation of soft metal electrodes (306 citations), addressing key challenges in flexibility and durability for wearable devices. Zheng’s highly breathable and stretchable strain sensors (194 citations) offer insensitive response to pressure and bending, solving a critical dilemma in tactile sensing. His work extends to flexible batteries, where he introduced a figure of merit (119 citations), and haptic textiles for VR applications (57 citations). Notably, his mormyroidea-inspired electronic skin (54 citations) achieves non-contact 3D tracking, while his neuromorphic systems (46 citations) enable tactile sensory encoding. With over 1,600 total citations across his top papers, Zheng’s innovations in soft actuators, hydrogels, and percolation networks have profound implications for robotics, medicine, and interactive wearables, establishing him as a transformative researcher in next-generation electronics.
