About

Gonghan He is a rising leader in advanced manufacturing and microfluidics, whose work bridges 3D printing, soft robotics, and biomedical engineering. His research centers on developing novel fabrication strategies for 3D microfluidic devices and adaptive optical systems, with a particular focus on self-consistent additive manufacturing processes that enable complex, multi-material architectures. He’s best known for pioneering nanofiber self-consistent additive manufacturing for 3D microfluidics (21 citations), a method that overcomes traditional fabrication limitations by integrating structural and functional materials in a single print. He also introduced the first 3D-printed membrane microvalves and microdecoder (12 citations), enabling programmable fluid control without external electronics, and developed a microfluidically controlled concave–convex membrane lens (11 citations) for non-electrical actuation in harsh environments. Most recently, He has advanced soft robotics with reinforced magnetic-responsive electro-ionic artificial muscles using 3D laser-induced graphene nano-heterostructures (8 citations), achieving enhanced ion transport and actuation. With over 50 total citations and a rapidly growing portfolio, He’s work is shaping the future of lab-on-a-chip systems, adaptive optics, and bioinspired actuators—making him a key innovator to watch in the next generation of smart materials and microsystems.
