About

Andrew Lamont is pioneering the miniaturization of microfluidic circuitry through advanced 3D nanoprinting. His research focuses on creating functional microfluidic components—diodes and transistors—that mimic electronic circuit elements at unprecedented scales. In his highly cited 2017 work, "In situ nano 3D printing of a microfluidic diode" (8 citations), Lamont demonstrated the first direct fabrication of a microfluidic diode within a microchannel, enabling precise fluid control for applications in soft robotics and biochemical processing. Building on this, his 2020 paper "A 3D Nanoprinted Normally Closed Microfluidic Transistor" (4 citations) introduced a groundbreaking normally closed transistor design, achieving the smallest microfluidic circuitry to date. This work addresses critical needs in soft micro-robotics and biofluidic microsystems, where compact, reliable fluid control is essential. Lamont’s contributions are establishing the foundation for next-generation microfluidic circuits, bridging the gap between additive manufacturing and functional lab-on-a-chip devices. His innovative approach to in situ nanoprinting is opening new possibilities for integrated microfluidic systems that could revolutionize fields from medical diagnostics to autonomous soft robots.
