About
Carmen Kar Man Fung is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of nanorobotics, biomedical engineering, and nanomanufacturing, whose work has advanced our understanding of how robotic systems can operate at the cellular and subcellular scale. Her research spans two complementary domains: the automated assembly of carbon nanotube (CNT)-based nanodevices and the application of atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based nanorobotics to biological systems. Fung's early contributions focused on developing automated nanomanufacturing systems that integrate dielectrophoretic techniques with robotic deposition to fabricate CNT nanosensors and devices — work that attracted nearly 40 citations and helped lay the groundwork for scalable nanofabrication. Her subsequent pivot toward cell biology proved equally impactful: her 2014 study on robotic nanodissection of intermediate filaments in live keratinocytes (39 citations) demonstrated remarkable precision in surgical manipulation at the cellular level. She has also championed AFM-based approaches for probing cellular mechanical and electrical properties, contributing to apoptosis research and electrophysiology studies. With cumulative citations reflecting growing recognition across engineering and life science communities, Fung's career exemplifies the powerful synergy between robotics, nanomaterials, and biomedical discovery.
