About
Shijie Dong is an innovative materials scientist and engineer whose research sits at the dynamic intersection of smart materials, flexible electronics, and energy harvesting technologies. His work has made meaningful contributions to the development of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) — devices that convert mechanical energy into electricity — with a particular focus on making them practical, skin-compatible, and intelligent. Dong's 2018 paper on inflammation-free, gas-permeable on-skin triboelectric nanogenerators, which has garnered 62 citations, addressed a critical barrier to wearable electronics by employing soluble nanofibers to create devices that are both breathable and biocompatible. Building on this foundation, his 2019 work introduced a dual-stimulus smart actuator and robotic hand system driven by vapor-responsive PDMS films coupled with triboelectric nanogenerators, accumulating 42 citations. This research cleverly demonstrated that UV/O3-modified PDMS could exhibit spontaneous curling in response to alcohol vapors, enabling low-cost, accessible soft robotics applications. Together, Dong's contributions reflect a forward-thinking approach to self-powered, responsive systems that bridge materials chemistry, bioengineering, and robotics — making him a notable emerging voice in the field of next-generation flexible and intelligent devices.
