Education
In 1996, Hanqing Jiang graduated from Dalian University of Technology with a bachelor's degree in engineering mechanics. Later, in 2001, Jiang earned a Ph.D. in Solid Mechanics from Tsinghua University under the guidance of Professor Keh-Chih Hwang (黄克智).
Career
From 2001 to 2006, Jiang worked as a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Subsequently, Jiang taught at Arizona State University for 15 years, starting as an assistant professor in 2006 and eventually becoming a professor in 2016.[1] In 2021, Jiang joined Westlake University as a Chair Professor of Mechanical Engineering.[2][3]
He served as a member of the board of directors for the Society of Engineering Sciences, from 2018 to 2023, Vice President in 2021, President in 2022, and Past President in 2023.
Research
Jiang research covers interdisciplinary topics that combine mechanics,[4] materials, and multiphysics interactions, such as nanomaterials, flexible electronics, lithium-metal batteries,[5] origami-based mechanical metamaterials for deformable electronics,[6] robotics, and the metaverse,[7] and food-based edible electronics.[8][9]
Honors
Jiang is a Fellow of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). He received the Worcester Reed Warner Medal from ASME in 2021[10] and the National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 2009.[11]
