About

Dr. Yanfang Meng is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of nanoscale electronics and self-powered sensory systems, with a focus on graphene-based artificial synapses and tribotronic devices. Her most celebrated work, the 2019 paper on "Piezotronic Graphene Artificial Sensory Synapse," has garnered 216 citations, establishing her as a key innovator in neuromorphic computing and electronic skin (E-skin) technology. In this study, Dr. Meng demonstrated a high-performance artificial synapse that mimics the human somatosensory system by integrating piezoelectric effects with graphene transistors, enabling efficient perception and processing of mechanical stimuli. This breakthrough holds profound implications for robotics, prosthetics, and human-machine interfaces. Expanding on this foundation, she developed self-powered bifunctional sensors using tribotronic planar graphene transistors (2021) and highly stretchable graphene scrolls transistors for noncontact mechanosensation (2023), addressing critical demands for low-energy, multifunctional E-skins in advanced health monitoring and disease diagnosis. Her work seamlessly merges materials science, micro-nano-fabrication, and microelectronics, offering scalable solutions for next-generation wearable electronics. With a growing citation impact and a trajectory of innovation, Dr. Meng’s contributions are shaping the future of intelligent, energy-autonomous sensory systems.
