About
Maqian Shi is a leading researcher in bioinspired materials, with a focus on structural color, wettability, and environmental sensing. Their most notable contribution is the development of a bioinspired tunable structural color film that combines Janus wettability—where one side of the material is hydrophilic and the other hydrophobic—with interfacial floatability. This innovation, published in 2021 and cited 55 times, enables visible water quality monitoring by changing color in response to environmental stimuli, offering a simple, real-time detection method without complex instrumentation. Shi’s work bridges fundamental materials science and practical applications, drawing inspiration from natural superwettability systems to create intelligent, multifunctional surfaces. By integrating optical and wetting properties into a single platform, they have opened new pathways for smart sensors, water purification, and adaptive coatings. Their research is highly regarded for its creativity and translational potential, making Shi a rising figure in the field of bioinspired materials and interfacial science.
