About
Yingnan Liu is a pioneering researcher in the field of biocompatible wearable electronics, with a particular focus on marine bio-monitoring and soft materials engineering. Their most notable contribution is the development of the KELM hydrogel—a biocompatible protein/liquid metal composite that combines high sensitivity, exceptional elongation, and remarkable shape-memory properties. This innovation enables strain sensors with an unprecedented detection limit of just 0.5 mm (1% stretch), allowing for the first-ever traceable monitoring of scallop heartbeats. Liu’s work bridges the gap between materials science and marine biology, offering a non-invasive method to track the health of marine inhabitants in real time. Their 2025 paper on this topic has already garnered 11 citations, signaling strong early impact in this emerging interdisciplinary area. By expanding the preparation and application of protein-based hydrogels, Liu is laying the groundwork for a new generation of wearable devices that are both environmentally friendly and highly functional, with potential implications for aquaculture, ocean health monitoring, and beyond.
