About
Fanwei Kong is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of laboratory automation, robotics, and life science instrumentation. Kong's primary focus has been on the automation of liquid handling — a foundational yet labor-intensive component of biological and biochemical research workflows. His most recognized contribution is a critical review of automatic liquid handling technologies for life sciences, which has accumulated over 250 citations and stands as an authoritative reference in the field. This work systematically examined the state of the art in robotic and sensor-integrated liquid handling systems, highlighting both the capabilities and limitations of existing tools and workstations. By synthesizing developments across robotics, sensors, and automation engineering, Kong helped define a research agenda for modernizing laboratory processes that are traditionally tedious and error-prone when performed manually. An earlier version of this review, published in 2009, laid the conceptual groundwork that the later, more widely cited iteration expanded upon. Kong's contributions have proven particularly valuable to researchers designing high-throughput screening pipelines, clinical diagnostics platforms, and automated experimental systems, making his work a key touchstone for anyone entering the field of laboratory automation.
