About
Ying Pei is a leading researcher in advanced functional materials, with a focus on bioinspired nanoionotronics, flame-retardant smart skins, and multifunctional protective systems for robotics and wearable electronics. Her most notable contribution is the development of an electro-blown spun silk/graphene nanoionotronic skin, which integrates exceptional flame retardancy with real-time fire alarm capabilities—a critical innovation for artificial intelligence robots operating in hazardous environments. This work, published in 2021 and garnering over 100 citations, addresses a previously overlooked safety gap in robotic skins, which are often designed for flexibility and sensing but rarely for fire protection. Pei’s research elegantly combines natural silk with graphene to create a material that is both highly sensitive and thermally resilient, enabling robots to detect and respond to fire threats autonomously. Her achievements have significant implications for humanoid robots, mobile manipulators, and automatic probes, pushing the boundaries of safe, intelligent soft robotics. Through her pioneering work, Ying Pei is shaping the future of fire-safe, multifunctional electronic skins.
