About
Thomas Leung is a leading figure in the emerging field of micro/nanorobotics for vascular intervention, with a particular focus on stroke treatment and thrombus management. His most impactful work introduces "tPA-anchored nanorobots" for in vivo arterial recanalization in submillimeter-scale vessels, a breakthrough that has already garnered 72 citations since its 2024 publication. Leung’s contributions extend to developing rapid blood clot removal techniques using remote delamination and magnetization of clot debris, demonstrating his innovative approach to minimally invasive therapies. Beyond robotics, Leung has made significant strides in stroke rehabilitation, showing through a 6-month follow-up study (15 citations) how brain-computer interface-guided robot hand training modulates functional connectivity and low-frequency fluctuations in chronic stroke patients. His randomized controlled trial on personalized EMG-driven soft robotic hands for task-oriented training further underscores his commitment to translating engineering solutions into clinical practice. With a comprehensive review on untethered miniature robots bridging bench to clinical trials, Leung’s work collectively advances both acute intervention and long-term recovery, positioning him as a transformative researcher at the intersection of micro-robotics and neurorehabilitation.
