About

Christina C. K. Au Yeung is pioneering the frontier of droplet robotics, with a focus on electret-induced polarization for precise, non-contact liquid manipulation. Her most-cited work, "A droplet robotic system enabled by electret-induced polarization on droplet" (2024), has already garnered 27 citations, reflecting its immediate impact on the field. This research addresses a critical bottleneck in lab-on-a-chip and biochemical automation: actuating micro-scale liquid samples without compromising their biological activity or restricting liquid types. By leveraging electret materials, Au Yeung’s system enables gentle, versatile droplet control, sidestepping the limitations of traditional methods that often introduce interfering media or limit compatibility. Her contributions are particularly significant for advancing robotics from macro-scale solid grasping to micro-scale liquid handling, a paradigm shift essential for next-generation scientific research tools. Au Yeung’s work stands out for its potential to transform high-throughput screening, diagnostics, and synthetic biology, where preserving sample integrity is paramount. As a rising voice in micro-robotics and lab automation, she is shaping how researchers interact with fluids at the microscale, promising more efficient, biocompatible, and scalable solutions for the scientific community.
