About
Hongjun Ji is a leading researcher in advanced functional materials and additive manufacturing, with a primary focus on developing next-generation electronic skin (e-skin) and soft actuators. His work has pioneered the integration of liquid metals and liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) into high-performance, responsive systems. Ji’s most cited paper (2023, 9 citations) introduces an additively fabricated gallium-based liquid metal e-skin that achieves dynamic sensing comparable to human skin, with applications in health monitoring and bionic prosthetics. He further advanced the field with a bioinspired cilia-based e-skin (2025, 3 citations) capable of multimodal mechanical sensing, and a gel-state [BMIM][BF4] e-skin (2024, 2 citations) designed for high-sensitivity, damage-redundant detection in extreme aerospace environments. Beyond e-skin, Ji developed an ultrasonic-excited ultrafast integration method for heterostructured LCEs (2023, 8 citations), enabling multi-responsive soft actuators with unprecedented speed and seamlessness. His contributions are shaping the future of soft robotics and wearable technology, demonstrating remarkable impact through innovative materials and scalable fabrication techniques.
