About

Jingwei Ai is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of flexible electronics, self-powered sensors, and soft robotics, with a core focus on magnetoelectric materials and mechanoelectrical conversion. His most influential work introduces liquid metal-based stretchable magnetoelectric films, which harness gallium-based liquid metal alloys to achieve unprecedented deformability and conductivity for mechanical-to-electrical energy conversion—a contribution that has garnered 66 citations. Ai further advanced the field by developing bioinspired flexible magnetoelectric sensors modeled after Merkel’s disks, enabling robotic arms to achieve tactile perceptual functioning and smart learning capabilities (40 citations). His stretchable electromagnetic fibers for self-powered mechanical sensing (36 citations) and ball-in-ball type inertial sensors for 3D multi-angle motion monitoring of humanoid robots (30 citations) demonstrate a sustained impact on soft tactile sensing and autonomous systems. By integrating self-powering mechanisms with biomimetic design, Ai’s work directly addresses critical challenges in soft robotics, wearable health monitoring, and human-robot interaction, making him a leading voice in next-generation flexible sensor technologies.
