About

Xining Zang is a leading researcher at the intersection of advanced manufacturing, energy storage, and smart biomedical devices. Her work is defined by the innovative use of laser-induced graphene (LIG) to create flexible, high-performance electronics. A major contribution is her pioneering development of the first flexible, high-voltage microsupercapacitor based on LIG, achieving a planar in-series architecture critical for powering soft robotics and dielectric elastomers—a landmark study with over 100 citations. She has also made significant strides in orthopedics, demonstrating a laser direct-write method to fabricate strain sensors directly onto carbon-fiber-reinforced PEEK implants. This breakthrough enables real-time, in-vivo strain assessment, addressing a critical need for smart, biocompatible implants that are mechanically compatible with bone. Her work elegantly bridges materials science and device engineering, creating tangible solutions for energy and healthcare. With a growing portfolio of highly cited papers, Zang is establishing herself as a key innovator in the field of flexible and implantable electronics.
