About
Dr. Alice S. Fontaine is pioneering the intersection of soft robotics and electrochemical energy systems. Her most-cited work, "Emulsions that store oxygen for fast ORR kinetics and multifunctional robotic and mobility systems" (2024), introduces a transformative concept: using oxygen-storing emulsions to dramatically accelerate oxygen reduction reaction kinetics. This breakthrough enables the design of untethered, multifunctional robotic platforms that can operate autonomously in oxygen-depleted environments, from deep-sea exploration to medical microrobotics. Though a recent publication, its two citations already signal growing interest from both the robotics and electrochemistry communities. Dr. Fontaine’s research uniquely bridges materials chemistry, fluid dynamics, and robotics, offering a new paradigm for energy-dense, self-powered systems. Her work holds promise for next-generation mobility systems that are not only agile but also chemically intelligent. As an emerging leader, she is redefining how we think about powering and actuating soft machines, with potential applications spanning environmental monitoring, biomedical devices, and autonomous exploration.
