About

Yi-Kuen Lee is a leading figure in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and microfluidics, with a particular focus on developing innovative tools for biomedical and chemical analysis. His work bridges engineering and life sciences, notably through the design of polymer-based microdevices for high-precision fluid handling. A key contribution is the "Multilayer SU-8 based microdispenser for microarray assay" (2006), which introduced a novel fabrication method using SU-8 photoresist to create robust, multilayer microdispensers capable of delivering nanoliter-scale droplets for microarray applications. This work has garnered 16 citations, reflecting its foundational role in advancing lab-on-a-chip technologies. Lee’s research has significantly impacted the miniaturization of diagnostic assays, enabling more efficient and cost-effective biological screening. His achievements include pioneering the integration of MEMS with microfluidics for point-of-care diagnostics, and his ongoing work continues to push the boundaries of microsystem design for healthcare and environmental monitoring. For students and researchers, Lee’s contributions exemplify how precise engineering can solve real-world biomedical challenges, making him a key figure to follow in the field of microfluidics and MEMS.
