About

Liheng Yang is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of stretchable electronics and human-robot interaction. His primary contributions lie in developing scalable, high-resolution patterning methods for liquid metal–based stretchable electronics, a critical challenge for next-generation wearable and deformable systems. His landmark 2025 paper, "High-resolution liquid metal–based stretchable electronics enabled by colloidal self-assembly and microtransfer printing," has already garnered 32 citations, demonstrating its rapid impact in advancing the fabrication of high-performance, seamlessly integrated electronic skins and soft circuits. This work overcomes long-standing limitations in patterning liquid metal particles, enabling unprecedented feature resolution and scalability. Additionally, Yang explores the social dynamics of remote communication through his 2023 work on a speech-driven avatar robot system that changes complexion to visualize interactive atmospheres. While still emerging, this research addresses the subtle human factors in telepresence, aiming to dissolve the psychological boundaries created by screens. Together, Yang’s contributions bridge materials innovation and human-centered robotics, positioning him as a rising leader in creating more intuitive and physically integrated technologies.
