About
Hang Niu is a researcher at the forefront of fiber optic sensing technology, with a specialized focus on Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG)-based sensors for precision measurement in biomedical and mechanical engineering. Niu’s most impactful work addresses a critical challenge in retinal microsurgery: the accurate sensing of micro-scale tool-tissue interaction forces to prevent tissue injury and vision loss. Their 2023 paper on an FBG-based three-dimensional micro-force sensor, featuring axial force sensitivity enhancement and temperature compensation for micro-forceps, has garnered 14 citations, highlighting its significance in advancing surgical safety. Beyond biomedical applications, Niu has pioneered FBG-based methods for monitoring mechanical stress in robotic systems, including measuring gear tooth root bending stress and planetary gearbox strain. These contributions, though with fewer citations (2–3 each), demonstrate a sustained commitment to improving the reliability and fault detection of intelligent robots. By integrating FBG sensors into both delicate surgical instruments and robust industrial machinery, Niu bridges the gap between high-precision medical devices and mechanical health monitoring, offering innovative solutions that enhance safety and performance across diverse engineering fields.
