Biography
Yujia Zhang is a Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Electrical and Microengineering at the School of Engineering at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). He has led the Laboratory for Bio-Iontronics (BION) since January 2025. A major interest of his laboratory is the development of iontronic biointerfaces and hybrid intelligent systems for biomedical detection and treatment. Recently, he has pioneered the area of dropletronics, in which networks of microscale soft droplets function as versatile bioiontronic/bioelectronic devices. Prior to his appointment, he obtained his B.Sc. in electronics engineering from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2016. Later, he completed his PhD in biomedical engineering and MEMS/NEMS technology at the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, followed by one year as a visiting PhD at Stony Brook University.
