Dr. Huijing Li is a materials scientist specializing in elastomer- and hydrogel-based sensing materials for soft and flexible sensor systems. Her experimental work focuses on the fabrication of tactile sensors based on soft polymers and gels, including material design, processing, and electromechanical characterization. By combining soft sensors with computer-assisted modeling and control programs, she integrates these sensing elements into intelligent robotic systems, enabling real-time perception and interaction through soft material interfaces.
She received her bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from South China University of Technology and completed her Ph.D. in Polymer Chemistry and Materials Science at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. From 2024 to 2026, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), where she developed polymer-based tactile sensing platforms and soft sensor–robot integration strategies. In Feb., 2026, she joined Prof. Cuniberti's chair at TU Dresden. At TU Dresden, her research will focus on materials and systems for olfactory sensing, aiming to extend soft material-based sensor concepts toward artificial olfaction and intelligent sensing applications.
