About

Chih‐Ming Ho is a pioneering figure in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), with a career defined by advancing the integration of microactuators and microsensors for robotics and biomedical applications. His key research areas include magnetic microactuation, flexible sensor skins, and microfluidic dispensing technologies. Ho’s major contribution lies in developing a micromachined permalloy magnetic actuator array for micro-robotics assembly systems, a work that has garnered 66 citations and demonstrated the ability to precisely lift and move silicon and glass chips—a foundational step toward automated microassembly. He also reported the first IC-integrated flexible shear-stress sensor skin (19 citations), which simplified MEMS wiring and enhanced reliability by embedding bias and signal-conditioning circuitry directly on-chip, a notable achievement in smart skin technology. Additionally, his work on a multilayer SU-8 based microdispenser for microarray assays (16 citations) advanced high-throughput biological analysis. Ho’s innovations have been recognized for their impact on precision manufacturing and biomedical diagnostics, making him a respected figure in MEMS research.
