About

Dr. Wenjing Qin is a leading innovator in the field of flexible and wearable electronics, with a primary focus on advanced strain sensors and soft robotics. Her work is defined by the strategic engineering of nanomaterials and polymer architectures to overcome fundamental trade-offs between sensitivity, linearity, and mechanical robustness. Dr. Qin’s major contributions include the development of hierarchically buckled Ti₃C₂Tₓ MXene/carbon nanotube strain sensors, which achieved remarkable improvements in linearity, sensitivity, and strain range for applications in soft robotics and epidermal monitoring. She further advanced the field by creating a self-healing MXene/AgNW/liquid metal strain sensor, modulated by dynamic disulfide and hydrogen bonds, demonstrating high linearity and low hysteresis—a critical step toward stable human-machine interfaces. Her highly cited works (with papers garnering 88 and 82 citations, respectively) underscore the significant impact of her materials-driven approach. Beyond sensing, Dr. Qin has explored transformable thin-film robots capable of crawling, rolling, and oscillation, and has pioneered a 3D printing strategy using dynamic Na⁺ bridges to create hydrogels with a synergistic combination of high strength, low hysteresis, strong adhesion, and self-healing. Her research is shaping the next generation of intelligent, adaptive soft systems.
