About

Bohan Sun is a leading researcher in the field of advanced materials and micro-robotics, with a focus on developing multifunctional, bio-inspired systems for healthcare and human-machine interaction. His major contributions include the creation of gas-permeable, on-skin electronics using laser-induced porous graphene and sugar-templated elastomer sponges—a breakthrough that addresses the critical issue of perspiration evaporation in wearable devices (377 citations). He also pioneered the use of laser-induced graphene for electrothermally controlled, mechanically guided 3D assembly, enabling reversible shape reconfigurations for soft actuators (180 citations). In robotics, Sun achieved submillimeter-scale multimaterial terrestrial robots, advancing minimally invasive surgical tools and cellular manipulation (136 citations). His recent work introduces a material that dynamically enhances both load-bearing and energy dissipation under cyclic loading, promising to reduce catastrophic failure in engineering applications. With over 700 total citations and a portfolio spanning flexible electronics, 3D assembly, and micro-robotics, Sun’s innovations are shaping the future of soft, adaptive technologies.
