About
Zhenglei Yu is a multidisciplinary researcher whose work spans smart materials, biomimetic systems, and intelligent manufacturing. His most celebrated contributions lie in the development of stimuli-responsive hydrogel actuators, where he has pioneered innovative approaches to designing materials that mimic biological movement and adaptability. In 2018, Yu's fabrication of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC)-containing bilayer hydrogel actuators — capable of rapid, reversible responses to both temperature and near-infrared laser stimuli — earned 82 citations and established him as a significant voice in smart material design. Building on this foundation, his 2020 work on gradient four-dimensional printing introduced programmable nonuniform deformation strategies with compelling applications in drug delivery, biomedical devices, and soft robotics, accumulating 78 citations. His subsequent research further advanced high-strength gradient intelligent hydrogels with diverse controllable deformations, reinforcing his expertise in bioinspired actuation systems. More recently, Yu has broadened his scope into intelligent manufacturing, applying multi-source data fusion and convolutional neural networks to industrial robot fault diagnosis — a testament to his versatility. With over 200 cumulative citations, Yu's research bridges soft matter engineering and applied robotics in meaningful and impactful ways.
