About

Yujing Zhang is pioneering the frontier of soft robotics and multifunctional fiber sensors, with research spanning stretchable electronics, ferromagnetic micro-robots, and flexible pressure sensors. Her most impactful work, a 2021 study on thermally drawn stretchable electrical and optical fiber sensors (57 citations), introduced a scalable method for multimodal extreme deformation sensing, enabling wearable and implantable devices that withstand rigorous mechanical stress. In 2023, she advanced submillimeter ferromagnetic fiber robots (34 citations), demonstrating remote navigation, sensing, and modulation capabilities—a breakthrough for minimally invasive biomedical applications. Zhang’s contributions to flexible pressure sensors are equally notable: her 2024 paper on periodic microslits (32 citations) achieved ultrahigh stress tolerance, while her 2022 work on multiple embossments (31 citations) enhanced interfacial performance. She also developed a flexible three-dimensional force sensor (26 citations) with bonding and supporting composite structures, improving stability for smart devices. With over 180 cumulative citations, Zhang’s innovations in fiber-based sensing and robotic systems are shaping the future of healthcare, human-machine interfaces, and soft robotics, offering scalable solutions for extreme environments and precision medicine.
