About
Tianyun Dong is a leading researcher at the intersection of soft robotics, flexible electronics, and wearable assistive technologies. Their work centers on developing soft actuators and highly sensitive flexible sensors—particularly those leveraging liquid metals—to enable safer, more effective human-machine interaction for rehabilitation and assistance. Dong’s most cited work, “Soft Actuators and Robotic Devices for Rehabilitation and Assistance” (2021, 189 citations), has been foundational in demonstrating how soft, compliant systems can replace rigid components to improve safety and comfort in medical robotics. They have also made significant contributions to gait analysis with a wireless, fully flexible insole integrating a highly sensitive pressure sensor (24 citations), advancing clinical diagnostics and exoskeleton control. More recently, Dong has pioneered liquid metal-based strain sensors with optimized microchannel structures, achieving enhanced sensitivity and stretchability for wearable electronics and soft robotic applications. Their comprehensive review on flexible 3-D force sensors (2024, 20 citations) further underscores their role in shaping the field. With a growing portfolio of high-impact publications and a focus on practical, scalable fabrication methods, Dong is driving innovation toward next-generation wearable devices and intelligent rehabilitation systems.
