Xingwen Zheng is a tenure-track professor (under the Hundred Talents Program) with the College of Control Science and Engineering, at Zhejiang University (ZJU). Previously, he was a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) fellow with the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the University of Tokyo, Japan (in micro-robotic manipulations, supervised by Professor Fumihito Arai). He completed Ph.D. programs at Peking University, China (in dynamics and control, supervised by Professor Guangming Xie) and the University of Groningen, The Netherlands (in biomimetic sensory systems, supervised by Professor Ming Cao and Professor Ajay Kottapalli). He received a B.E. degree in mechanical engineering and automation from Northeastern University, China.

His research interests include underwater robots, bio-inspired robots, biomimetic sensory systems, and robotic manipulations. He has published papers (> 30) in journals such as IEEE Transactions on Robotics, Advanced Functional Materials, Advanced Science, IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics (TMECH), and Soft Robotics, as well as conferences such as IROS, ICRA, MEMS, Transducers, etc. He has published two academic books. He has 10 authorized patents and has served as PIs in 4 research projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), etc. He was the recipient of > 20 awards such as the JSPS postdoctoral fellow, Institute of Physics Publishing China Highly Cited Paper Award (2018-2020), Best Application Paper Award Nomination of MARSS 2024, Wiley China Open Science Author Award, Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self-financed Students Abroad, National Scholarship, Peking University COE Top 10 Outstanding Doctoral Students Award, etc.

He served as an editorial board member for Advanced Bionics, Soft Science, Journal of Hydrodynamics, Frontiers in Robotics and AI, SES 2024, etc. He also served as a reviewer for leading journals and conferences in robotics and biomimetics research, including IEEE Transactions on Robotics, IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics (TMECH), IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics, Advanced Functional Materials, Advanced Science, Small, Advanced Intelligent Systems, IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, Journal of the Royal Society Interface, Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), etc. He was selected for the TMECH Junior Reviewers Program. He won the IOP Outstanding Reviewer Awards 2023 (Bioinspiration & Biomimetics).
