Zijie Meng studied at the School of Mechanical Engineering, Xi'an Jiaotong University from 2017 to 2023. In 2023, he was selected for the "Program for Supporting Young and Excellent Talents" at Xi'an Jiaotong University. In the same year, he joined the Frontier Institute of Science and Technology as an assistant professor.

Zijie focuses on cutting-edge research in the design and manufacturing of biodegradable implants and their biological performance evaluation. He has accumulated extensive experience in implant structural design, simulation, controllable 3D printing of complex structures, and evaluation of structural/mechanical/electrical/biological properties, as well as animal experiments and clinical trials. The developed biodegradable soft tissue implants have been used in more than 30 clinical cases. His research achievements have been published in more than 20 papers in internationally renowned journals in the field of 3D printing and biofabrication, such as Nature Communications, Trends in Biotechnology, International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, Biomaterials, Additive Manufacturing, Virtual and Physical Prototyping, Acta Biomaterialia, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, and Biofabrication.
