About
Dr. Emily Buckner is pioneering the frontier of wireless microfluidics and soft robotics, with a focus on creating miniature, untethered systems capable of multimodal locomotion and precise fluid manipulation. Her most-cited work, "Wireless microfluidics-enabled multifunctional miniature soft robots with multimodal locomotion for fluid manipulation" (2025, 10 citations), addresses a critical challenge in biomedical engineering: integrating wireless control into soft robots for biofluid sampling and on-demand delivery of therapeutic agents to inaccessible regions of the body. By overcoming the limitations of wired systems, Buckner’s research enables these soft robots to navigate complex environments while performing tasks like diagnostics and targeted drug release. Her contributions hold transformative potential for minimally invasive medicine, offering new pathways for treating hard-to-reach areas with unprecedented precision. With a growing citation impact and a focus on real-world biomedical applications, Buckner is establishing herself as a rising leader in the intersection of microfluidics and soft robotics, where her innovations promise to reshape how we approach fluid-based diagnostics and therapy.
