About
Jiang-Wei Mao is a leading researcher in bioinspired soft robotics and smart materials, with a focus on graphene oxide (GO)-based actuators and sensors. His work harnesses the moisture-responsive properties of GO to create programmable, multiresponsive bimorph actuators, enabling complex 3D deformations for soft robots—a key contribution demonstrated in his highly cited 2020 paper on patterned bimorph actuator swarms (67 citations). Mao’s innovative “Yin”-“Yang” complementarity strategy (2019, 94 citations) advanced dual-responsive actuator design, while his development of sunlight-reduced GO moisture sensors (2017, 60 citations) paved the way for smart device integration. His impact extends to bioinspired systems, including a miniature optoelectronic compound eye camera (2022, 125 citations) and superhydrophobic swimming robots with Marangoni propulsion (2022, 63 citations). With over 700 total citations across his top papers, Mao’s work on heterogeneous self-healing assemblies of MXene and GO (2021, 46 citations) further pushes boundaries in self-reparable soft electronics. His achievements highlight a career dedicated to translating fundamental material science into functional, nature-inspired robotic systems.
