Short Bio

I am a Postdoc researcher at Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre and Vrije Universiteit Brussel, working under the supervision of Prof. Bram Vanderborght. My research focuses on the stimulus-responsive materials, soft matters, and their interplay with fluid mechanics in the context of designing and actuating soft robots. I place a particular emphasis on advancing the physical intelligence and programmable behaviors in robotics.

Research Interest:

• Soft Robotics: Design, fabrication, actuation, and control for soft robotics.
• Additive Manufacturing: Soft and multi-functional materials 3D printing.
• Simulations: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
• Microfluidics: Microfluidic chips development and its potential for soft robots.
