About

Wenbo Pang is a leading researcher in the field of flexible and bioinspired electronics, with a focus on mechanically guided 3D assembly, soft actuators, and shape-morphing systems. His work has significantly advanced the design and fabrication of materials that mimic biological tissues, enabling unprecedented control over mechanical and electrical properties. Pang’s 2020 paper on laser-induced graphene for electrothermally controlled 3D assembly, cited over 180 times, introduced a groundbreaking method for reversible shape reconfiguration in soft robotics and human–soft actuator interaction. His 2022 study on bioinspired elastomer composites with programmed anisotropies (92 citations) further demonstrated how to engineer materials with tailored mechanical and electrical responses, crucial for applications in wearable electronics and artificial muscles. Pang also developed an anti-fatigue design strategy for 3D ribbon-shaped flexible electronics (47 citations), enhancing durability in flexible devices. His recent work on thin-film-shaped flexible actuators (2023) and transforming machines capable of continuous 3D shape morphing and locking (2025) highlights his ongoing contributions to next-generation robotics. With over 365 total citations, Pang’s research is shaping the future of adaptive, bioinspired technologies.
