About

Lan Jiang is a leading innovator in the design of smart, responsive materials and next-generation energy storage devices. Her research masterfully bridges the fields of graphene-based actuators and integrated micro-supercapacitors. Dr. Jiang’s seminal work on moisture-triggered graphene actuators, published in 2013 and garnering over 330 citations, introduced a revolutionary method for creating fibers that perform complex, predetermined deformations in response to humidity—a breakthrough with profound implications for soft robotics. She further advanced the field with her work on a single graphene oxide film for responsive actuation (180 citations), simplifying actuator design. In the energy domain, Dr. Jiang has made a critical contribution by seamlessly integrating wireless charging with micro-supercapacitors, achieving ultrahigh energy density and capacitance (200 citations). This innovative device design paves the way for truly moveable and autonomous electronics. Her work is characterized by a unique ability to engineer material asymmetry and system integration, solving fundamental challenges in both actuation and power storage. With a portfolio of highly influential papers, Dr. Jiang is a pivotal figure shaping the future of intelligent, self-powered microsystems.
