About
Chae Woo Lim is a rising researcher whose work sits at the intersection of biomedical optics and soft robotics, with a focus on developing novel technologies for ophthalmic imaging and actuation. In their pioneering 2024 study on active motion cancellation for robotic optical coherence tomography (OCT), Lim addressed a critical challenge in ophthalmology: imaging patients with involuntary eye movements, such as nystagmus. By designing a robotic system capable of tracking and compensating for these motions in phantom studies, Lim’s work opens the door to more accessible, head-free OCT imaging—potentially transforming diagnosis and management of eye disease for patients who cannot tolerate standard clinical setups. This contribution, already garnering citations, demonstrates a clear path toward patient-centered innovation. Concurrently, Lim has advanced soft robotics through a parametric study of HASEL actuators, specifically optimizing planar geometries for out-of-plane bending. This work provides foundational design principles for fluidic dielectric elastomer actuators, which promise safer, more adaptable systems for applications ranging from locomotion to manipulation. With these dual contributions, Lim is establishing a reputation for bridging engineering precision with real-world clinical needs, making their research both technically rigorous and deeply impactful.
