About
Yanghui Liu is a leading researcher in the emerging field of bio-inspired soft electronics and neuromorphic engineering. Her work focuses on developing stretchable, artificial synaptic devices that mimic the neurological functions of soft-bodied organisms, enabling seamless integration with soft robotics and wearable systems. Her most-cited paper, "Stretchable elastic synaptic transistors for neurologically integrated soft engineering systems" (2019, 293 citations), introduced a fully elastomeric transistor that replicates the mechanical and signal-processing properties of biological synapses, paving the way for neurologically integrated soft machines. Liu has also made significant contributions to artificial nociception, as demonstrated in her 2022 study on xanthan gum-gated synaptic transistors that emulate human thermal pain perception—a critical step toward intelligent prosthetics and human-machine interfaces. Her work bridges materials science, neuroscience, and robotics, achieving high impact through its potential to create adaptive, sensory-rich artificial systems. With over 300 combined citations, Liu’s research is shaping the future of soft, stretchable electronics that can feel, learn, and respond like living tissue.
