About
Pu Guo is a rising leader in the emerging field of liquid metal (LM) micro-robotics, where his work bridges the gap between fundamental materials science and dynamic, unconstrained actuation. His research focuses on the light-induced manipulation of LM droplets, a class of materials that uniquely combine high electrical conductivity with fluidity. In his highly cited 2024 paper, Guo introduced a novel technique for the dynamic, contact-free control of liquid metal droplets in ambient air, overcoming previous limitations that required specialized chemical or magnetic environments. This contribution has rapidly garnered over 40 citations, signaling its immediate impact on the design of next-generation microrobots and soft actuators. By harnessing light as a remote energy source, Guo’s approach offers unprecedented precision and simplicity for droplet locomotion, merging, and deformation. His work not only advances fundamental understanding of interfacial phenomena but also opens practical pathways for applications in targeted drug delivery, microfluidics, and reconfigurable electronics. As a young investigator, Pu Guo is already defining a new paradigm for responsive, all-weather liquid metal systems.
