About

Haoxiang Lian is a rising researcher at the forefront of flexible electronics and magnetic microrobotics, whose work bridges materials science and intelligent sensing. He is best known for pioneering "crack engineering" in flexible sensors—a bio-inspired approach that dramatically enhances sensitivity by mimicking the crack-based sensory systems found in spiders. His landmark 2022 paper on this topic, which has garnered 74 citations, demonstrates how controlled microcracks in conductive films can boost sensor performance for applications in human health monitoring, motion detection, and human-machine interaction. More recently, Lian has advanced the field of medical robotics with a novel magnetic-based pose estimation method for magnetically driven helical robots. His 2025 work introduces an eye-in-hand magnetic sensing technique that decouples the robot’s pose from the rotating magnetic field, enabling precise, real-time localization without external cameras—a critical step toward minimally invasive surgical tools. With a growing citation impact and contributions spanning from fundamental material design to applied robotic control, Lian represents a new generation of interdisciplinary engineers shaping the future of wearable technology and autonomous medical devices.
