About

Jiangong Cui is at the forefront of flexible sensor technology and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), with a research focus on creating highly sensitive, bio-inspired sensing devices for both pressure and underwater applications. His most cited work, "A Flexible Pressure Sensor Based on Silicon Nanomembrane" (2023, 40 citations), addresses the critical challenge of achieving high detection sensitivity across a wide pressure range—a limitation of many flexible sensors made from new materials. By leveraging traditional silicon-based nanomembranes, Cui’s design offers a practical path toward robust, high-performance wearable electronics. Expanding into underwater robotics, his investigation of submerged MEMS ultrasonic sensors (2024, 13 citations) pioneers miniature sonar solutions for obstacle avoidance in confined spaces, where conventional sonar falls short. Most recently, his fully 3D-printed piezoresistive bionic seal whisker (2025, 3 citations) integrates multiple liquid metal tunnels to mimic the hydrodynamic flow sensing of seals, enhancing sensitivity to prey-induced wake vibrations while suppressing noise. This innovative work not only advances bio-inspired robotics but also demonstrates Cui’s ability to merge materials science, 3D printing, and MEMS design. With a growing citation record and a clear trajectory toward practical, high-impact sensing systems, Jiangong Cui is a rising leader in flexible and underwater sensing technologies.
