About

Jenny Zhou is a pioneer in bioinspired electronics, specializing in the development of artificial systems that mimic biological self-protection and healing. Her most influential work introduces a groundbreaking artificial injury response system based on a robust polymer memristor, which uniquely replicates a sense of pain, a sign of injury, and a healing process—capabilities far beyond conventional flexible electronic skin. This 2022 paper, garnering 114 citations, addresses a critical gap in human–robot interactions by enabling machines to autonomously detect damage and initiate protective responses, much like living organisms. Zhou’s contributions advance the fields of neuromorphic computing, soft robotics, and intelligent prosthetics, offering a pathway to more resilient and autonomous electronic systems. Her research is widely recognized for its interdisciplinary impact, bridging materials science, biology, and engineering. By integrating sensing, processing, and responding into a single device, Zhou has set a new standard for artificial pain perception and self-repair, inspiring future innovations in smart materials and human-machine interfaces.
