About
Erwei Shang is a rising innovator at the intersection of advanced manufacturing and soft robotics, with a primary focus on 3D printing of elastomeric materials and flexible sensor design. His major contributions center on overcoming critical fabrication challenges—most notably, his work on laser-assisted direct ink writing enables high-fidelity production of complex PDMS structures, solving the deformation issues that have long plagued thermal-curing elastomer printing. This breakthrough, published in 2023, has already garnered 15 citations for its practical impact on biocompatible device fabrication. Shang further advances the field through his design of composite dielectric layers for capacitive pressure sensors, achieving a rare balance between high sensitivity and broad detection range—a key challenge addressed in his 2025 paper (9 citations). His 2022 work on 3D-printed smart elastomeric foam with integrated force sensing demonstrates a direct application pathway, successfully pairing these materials with robotic grippers for tactile feedback. Collectively, Shang’s research bridges materials science, additive manufacturing, and sensor engineering, offering scalable solutions for next-generation soft robotics and wearable electronics.
