I am working on designing the shape-morphing behaviors (single-body deformation and collective formations) in various soft matter to create functional miniature soft machines or minimally invasive medical devices, tightly integrated with their wireless actuation (e.g. magnetic), control and sensing systems, for biomedical, fluidics, and biomechanics applications. Ongoing research highlight includes developing novel minimally invasive medical functions of soft miniature robots, such as biofluid pumping and targeted biopsy.
