About
Yongcao Zhang is a leading researcher in stretchable and rubbery electronics, with a focus on developing novel semiconducting materials and fabrication techniques for soft robotics and human-machine interfaces. His most influential work includes the creation of an elastic, reconfigurable synaptic transistor based on a stretchable bilayer semiconductor (170 citations), which enables neuromorphic computing in deformable systems. Zhang also pioneered the air/water interfacial assembly of rubbery semiconducting nanofilms (86 citations), achieving high carrier mobility in a fully stretchable material—a critical breakthrough for building rubbery integrated circuits that maintain performance under mechanical strain. His recent work on cure-on-demand 3D printing (20 citations) demonstrates complex, tactile-sensitive structures for soft robotics and extended reality applications. With over 270 total citations, Zhang’s contributions are foundational to the field of intrinsically stretchable electronics, addressing both material-level and structural-level challenges. His research has been recognized for enabling next-generation wearable devices, soft robots, and immersive interfaces that require both electronic functionality and mechanical compliance.
