About

Bin Miao is a leading researcher in the field of piezoelectric micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), with a core focus on advancing ultrasonic transducer technology for next-generation sensing applications. His work centers on the development of high-performance piezoelectric micromechanical ultrasonic transducers (pMUTs), particularly those utilizing scandium aluminum nitride (ScAlN) thin films. Miao’s major contributions address a critical limitation in the field: the short sensing range of conventional pMUTs. By pioneering innovative designs such as dual-ring structures and flexurally suspended membranes, he has significantly enhanced output sound pressure and long-range detection capabilities. His 2023 paper on ScAlN pMUTs with a dual-ring structure (12 citations) and his 2024 work on flexurally suspended membranes (10 citations) are foundational, demonstrating measurable improvements in distance sensing for automotive, robotics, and smart home applications. These achievements are vital for enabling miniature robots to operate effectively in complex environments. Miao’s research is highly impactful, offering practical solutions that push the boundaries of ultrasonic sensing, and his work is widely recognized as essential reading for engineers and scientists developing the next generation of compact, high-performance distance sensors.
