About
Yuefan Wei is a materials scientist and mechanical engineer whose research spans flexible electronics, advanced manufacturing, and surface engineering of metallic materials. His most widely recognized contribution is the development of a paper/carbon nanotube-based wearable pressure sensor for physiological signal monitoring and soft robotics, published in 2017 and accumulating over 275 citations — a testament to its broad impact across the fields of personalized medicine and intelligent robotics. This work demonstrated an innovative approach to fabricating flexible, low-cost sensors using single-wall carbon nanotubes, establishing Wei as a contributor to the rapidly growing field of wearable technology. Beyond flexible electronics, Wei has made significant advances in surface engineering and manufacturing processes for metallic components. His investigations into robotic hammer peening (RHP) and laser shock peening (LSP) have illuminated how these techniques induce martensite phase transformations, plastic deformation, and improved corrosion resistance in austenitic stainless steels. His comparative studies between LSP and RHP, alongside work on laser cladding, provide valuable guidance for industrial applications requiring durable, corrosion-resistant surfaces. Together, these contributions reflect a researcher bridging cutting-edge materials characterization with real-world engineering solutions.
