About
Yongchen Song is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of micro-robotics, energy harvesting, and microfluidic actuation. His work centers on developing innovative, self-powered systems for aquatic environments, with a particular focus on triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) technologies. Song’s major contribution lies in demonstrating how TENGs can wirelessly power EWOD actuators, enabling the precise, low-voltage manipulation of droplets for concealed aquatic microbots—a breakthrough that addresses the limitations of traditional, bulky mechanical actuation methods. His most cited paper, “Triboelectric Nanogenerator Powered Electrowetting-on-Dielectric Actuator for Concealed Aquatic Microbots” (2020), has garnered 46 citations, reflecting its impact on the field. This work has opened new avenues for environmental monitoring, confined space exploration, and biomedical applications, where compact, autonomous, and energy-efficient systems are critical. Song’s research is notable for its elegant integration of energy harvesting and microfluidics, offering a scalable path toward next-generation aquatic robots. His achievements highlight a forward-thinking approach to solving real-world challenges in micro-robotics and sustainable energy.
