About

Hamdi Torun is a leading researcher in the fields of acoustofluidics, flexible microsystems, and nanotextured surfaces. His major contributions center on pioneering the integration of thin-film piezoelectric materials with flexible and bendable substrates to enable advanced liquid manipulation. Notably, his work on “Hierarchical Nanotexturing Enables Acoustofluidics on Slippery yet Sticky, Flexible Surfaces” (2020, 52 citations) introduced a novel approach to actuate liquids on soft, conformable platforms, addressing a fundamental challenge in soft robotics and smart microsystems. Complementing this, his study “Flexible/Bendable Acoustofluidics Based on Thin-Film Surface Acoustic Waves on Thin Aluminum Sheets” (2021, 47 citations) demonstrated directional fluid transport on bendable aluminum foils, showcasing the potential for acoustofluidic devices that adapt to complex, three-dimensional shapes. Torun’s work has significantly advanced the field by enabling precise fluid control on unconventional surfaces, with applications in lab-on-a-chip, biomedical diagnostics, and wearable sensors. His innovative use of hierarchical nanostructures and thin-film surface acoustic waves has garnered attention for its potential to revolutionize flexible microsystems, making him a key figure in the development of next-generation, adaptable acoustofluidic technologies.
