Jia Song

Jia Song is an Eberly Research Fellow and Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Statistics, Pennsylvania State University. Their research focuses on interdisciplinary areas at the intersection of materials science, biomedical engineering, and chemical engineering, with a strong emphasis on enzyme-driven systems, micro/nanomotors, and smart materials.

Key research interests include the design and application of self-propelled micromotors, enzyme-catalyzed fluid dynamics, and hydrogel-based sensors. Their work explores topics like biomimetic collective behavior, photothermal actuation, and 4D printing for morphogenesis visualization. Recent studies have addressed collective cargo transport, light-powered propulsion systems, and surfactant-free microgel fabrication.

Publications reflect a trend toward integrating biophysics and engineering principles to solve challenges in targeted drug delivery, environmental monitoring, and biointerface engineering. Their work combines experimental and theoretical approaches to understand active matter systems, microfluidic control mechanisms, and responsive material design.
