About
Jinmei He is a leading researcher in the field of smart soft materials, with a primary focus on stimuli-responsive hydrogels and soft actuators. Her most significant contribution lies in pioneering a novel approach to achieve selective, in situ dynamic motion control—specifically, the ability to "stay and recover" under a single near-infrared (NIR) light source. By ingeniously combining triggered shape-memory effects with phase transitions in hydrogels, she has developed soft actuators that can lock into a deformed state and then autonomously return to their original shape upon light exposure. This breakthrough, detailed in her highly cited 2023 paper (39 citations), addresses a critical challenge in soft robotics: enabling precise, reversible, and remotely controlled motion without complex external hardware. Her work has profound implications for biomedical devices, micro-grippers, and adaptive structures. With her innovative material design, He has established herself as a key figure in advancing the practical application of light-responsive hydrogels, offering a scalable and energy-efficient pathway for next-generation soft actuators.
