About
Dr. Ziran Zeng is pioneering the next generation of flexible, skin-like electronics and soft robotics through innovative laser-based fabrication techniques. Her research centers on developing high-performance flexible pressure sensors and untethered magnetic soft robots, addressing critical challenges in manufacturing efficiency, cost, and functionality. In her highly cited 2023 work (24 citations), Dr. Zeng introduced a hybrid microstructure design resembling a volcano sponge, dramatically enhancing the sensitivity of flexible pressure sensors while overcoming the traditional hurdles of complex, time-consuming preparation on soft materials. Building on this, her 2024 study (22 citations) demonstrated a simple, low-cost laser-induced forming process to create skin-like sensors capable of artificial intelligence speech recognition, showcasing real-world application potential. Most recently, in 2025, she unveiled a groundbreaking laser thermal-curing printing method that integrates fabrication with reparability, reconfigurability, and reprogrammability for magnetic soft robots—a leap forward for applications in space exploration, industry, and medicine. With over 50 citations to her key works, Dr. Zeng’s contributions are shaping a future where soft, intelligent devices are not only more sensitive and adaptable but also easier to manufacture and repair.
