About

Haosen Chen is a leading researcher in the field of advanced functional materials and structures, with a primary focus on origami-inspired metamaterials, 4D printing, and flexible electronics. His most impactful contribution is the development of an active reconfigurable tristable square-twist origami structure (113 citations), which introduced a novel polymeric design achieving multiple stable states for applications in robotics and deployable devices. Chen also pioneered rapid volatilization-induced shape-morphing structures for 4D printing (74 citations), enabling mechanically robust, on-demand shape transformations that overcome traditional fabrication limitations. His work on a high-sensitivity flexible PDMS@rGO-based pressure sensor (36 citations) demonstrates a bioinspired gradient hierarchical structure with coplanar electrodes, achieving an ultra-wide working range for wearable electronics. Additionally, Chen has advanced polymer hybrid interfaces (8 citations) by designing structured interfaces that significantly improve tensile strength and toughness between stiff and highly stretchable polymers. His research has garnered over 230 citations, reflecting its significance in driving innovation across soft robotics, biomedical devices, and smart materials.
