About

Fang-Wei Liu is a leading researcher in micro-robotics and fluid dynamics, with a focus on acoustically driven micro-swimmers. His most-cited work, "Propulsion reversal in oscillating-bubble powered micro swimmer" (2021), investigates how oscillating gas bubbles trapped in microtubes generate microstreaming flows when excited by acoustic waves—a proven method for propelling underwater micro-robots. Liu’s key contribution lies in uncovering the conditions under which this propulsion force can reverse, transforming a traditional pushing force into a pulling one, thereby expanding the maneuverability and control of micro-swimmers. This discovery has significant implications for targeted drug delivery and minimally invasive surgery. With 7 citations on this paper alone, his work is gaining traction among peers in micro-engineering and biomedical device design. Liu’s research bridges fundamental physics with practical robotics, offering novel insights into bubble dynamics and acoustic actuation. His achievements position him as an emerging authority in the field, with potential to influence next-generation micro-robotic systems.
