About

Zejun Sun is a rising leader in flexible and bioinspired electronics, with key research spanning stretchable organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) and intelligent light-controlled soft actuators. Their most-cited work (44 citations, 2025) tackles the fundamental trade-off between stretchability and electrical performance in OECTs by introducing high-performance all-gel devices based on semiconducting polymer gel active layers—a breakthrough that promises to advance wearable and implantable bioelectronics. In parallel, Sun's work on artificial synapse-based liquid crystal network actuators (7 citations, 2025) pioneers intelligent, light-controlled soft robots capable of programmable remote actuation, addressing critical challenges in bionic systems and multifunctional material architectures. These contributions, though early in their career, demonstrate significant impact by merging materials innovation with device-level functionality, offering scalable solutions for next-generation flexible electronics and autonomous soft robotics. Sun’s research is poised to influence fields from neural interfaces to adaptive soft machines, marking them as a researcher to watch.
