This portfolio features publicly available demonstrations of my development work. Confidential company information and proprietary design details are excluded.
My engineering contribution
During my doctoral research, I formulated and validated stimuli-responsive hydrogel actuators, using thermal and structural analysis to improve actuator response. These demonstrations show the range of miniature robotic systems investigated with hydrogel actuation.
Untethered actuation
