Resume
Academic Achievements
- The work is envisioned to find applications such as inspection, surgical robots, and environmental monitoring.
Research Experience
- (1) Develop high bandwidth and robust soft actuators and active materials for locomotion and manipulation; (2) Investigate and apply physical phenomena (surface tension, fluid-structure interaction, friction, electrostatics) at the millimeter scale in designing multifunctional robots; (3) Develop design and fabrication tools suitable for rapid prototyping of hybrid soft-rigid robots.
Background
- Aiming to develop micro-scale robotic systems that can demonstrate insect-like locomotive capabilities in aerial, aquatic, and terrestrial environments.
Miscellany
- At the Soft-and-Micro-Robotics Lab, there's a strong commitment to fostering creativity, collaboration, and academic excellence. Each incoming student will be assigned an independent project or task.
