About

Eakkachai Pengwang is a leading researcher at the intersection of MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems), biomedical devices, and robotics. His most influential work, the highly cited 2016 topical review "Scanning Micromirror Platform Based on MEMS Technology for Medical Application" (89 citations), establishes him as a key authority on micromirror technologies for biomedical applications, including the development of micro-robots for precise manipulation in confined volumes. Pengwang’s contributions extend to pioneering energy solutions, as demonstrated by his work on a millimeter-scale fuel cell with an onboard passive control system—a unique power source with a total volume of just 9 mm³. He has also advanced surgical robotics, designing electrostatic actuators for 3-DOF micromanipulators in robot-assisted laser phonomicrosurgery, and exploring hybrid electrostatic-piezoelectric actuation for microsurgical systems. More recently, his research has expanded into renewable energy, with the design of a four-side stretch sling-based solar cleaning robot to maintain solar cell efficiency. With a portfolio spanning fundamental MEMS design to applied robotics, Pengwang’s work has garnered over 130 citations, reflecting his impact on medical microdevices, micro-power systems, and sustainable technology.
